The building, which was built in Neoclassical style and stone in the 19th century, displays its strikingness even if it is simple.

The frescoes of famous artists added a magnificent atmosphere to the interior decoration of the palace. You can also visit many parts of the palace, such as the throne room and the dining room.

Situated on an area of 13 hectares, the palace was normally the residence of the royal family, but is now mostly used for official ceremonies and invitations.
