How the Grand Palace took shape
The palace began as a timber-and-palisade royal residence in 1782 before its walls, halls and chapel were rebuilt in masonry.
Why go
How the Grand Palace took shape gives the complex a material history: a timber-and-palisade residence of 1782 became a masonry precinct of walls, halls and chapel. That transformation changes how the buildings read on site. Use it alongside the palace visit, and check current access details before setting out.
