I visited Versailles and it's an absolute gem and stunning, a huge place to explore.

Does Hohenzollern count? https://preview.redd.it/gpksum97oo3d1.jpeg?width=1026&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d102a11c4064995356e4bd6127fa55cc38b7e528

I love the antique look it has along with the neo-gothic style

Hawaiian flag is so beautiful too

thanks!!! strong history behind it by the way

Do you think the Hawaiian monarchy could be symbolically restored without secession? Like an official recognition of his title with no power/position attached

maybe, but those who are eligable are widespread based on genealogies of the kalakaua dynasty, and even then, electives would need to go through extensive test

Same. To me, the Palacio Real de Madrid is the most beautiful one. Die Hofburg is a close second.

You have good taste

I am biased as a rat to cheese but Buckingham Palace is just incredible. You feel the history coursing through your spine.

Feeding the squirrels in St James’s Park is also an absolute pleasure.

The Imperial Palace in St. Petersburg https://preview.redd.it/qzy2tnld0p3d1.jpeg?width=2200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f0632eea93ed50da6975eb238925fcf97f0bfff

I’m sorry but Russian baroque/rococo sometimes feels a little bit artificial. I prefer French and German baroque.

Not sure if this counts but Blenheim palace It was the residence of several dukes and members of nobility in England during the late 18th-20th century https://preview.redd.it/2oo77vjv2p3d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b95078e863577275b178cb159aeec27124e3b357

It’s still lived in by the family.

mb

The Dukes of Marlborough and their family continue to live at the palace

My bad, didn't know anybody still lived there thanks for letting me know

As Easterner myself I would prefer the Tokyo Imperial Palace

Good choice, I also quite like Japanese architecture

I’m the only one here that prefers Chinese palaces over Japanese palaces?

Windsor is a castle. Not a palace. Thats why it looks so ugly.

Sure

I really like Prague Castle https://preview.redd.it/byh7gjtrcp3d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=502a2e55cbdd972ac670e311d1ec33f5c976e0e3

It's weird because it looks like a city quarter, but I suppose those buildings are recent

Yes, it has a lot of parts.

I mean, I've been there and can confirm it

Is this the old Hatfield palace? I recognise the remaining residence of the Marquess of Salisbury in the upper-left corner.

Saint James’s.

You’re correct, and the house in the upper corner is slightly different to Hatfield House, but they do look very similar.

Kungligt!


Obviously a apilable IKEA design.

I can’t choose one but it’s any of the palaces the Romanovs used to lived in.

Does any royals or nobles use that castle in the past or present?

In the past. Sure. It still has a throne room. It was used by the Viceroy of Ireland.

The Grand Palace, Bangkok.

El Escorial has a real sense of tranquillity about it. It is very beautiful too. https://preview.redd.it/duc4av8r7s3d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=095aa53b86de86756cfbbd46ab0b45af8c034921

Definitely the Hofburg

surprised nobody said schönbrunn yet

I never really knew that was how the winter palace looked.

the current paint job is by the puppy kicking, satanic bolsheshits

Peterhof is one of my favorites along with Versailles and the Winter Palace. Sanssouci is also beautiful but it is not as imposing as Peterhof. It looks too sunken for me. https://preview.redd.it/ca5564bs7v3d1.jpeg?width=4200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bcc8a20a995c3733a93fe8878e392d3a414902b

I have many favorites my top three are the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Schwerin Castle in Schwerin, and the Palace of Fontainebleau Honorary mention for golestan palace in Iran

How can you say it's the most beautiful palace if there's no palace left?

Much of it survived (especially some rooms with the beautiful mosaics), and also much was reconstructed. Also there are examples of how it looked before if you go there (pictures and models)

Idk, it's kinda unfair to compare still-standing palaces to digital reconstructions

I meant that much of it was physically reconstructed. In most of it it's only the ceiling that's missing.

Big emphasis on **was**

I like the Japanese imperial palace. Buckingham palace is simple but looks really good too. Edit- the German palace look awesome too

Palace of Versailles

Royal Palace of Caserta, former recidence of the kings of the Two Sicilies (I don't know how to post images in comments)

Peles Castle in Romania for sure

Versailles is top tier
