Talk:List of palaces

The Summer Palace is not from Brazil, its from China and another one in Russia.

The entry on Germany is not quite correct. There is another term in German, "Pfalz", one meaning of which is the residences of the traveling kings of Germany (who doubled up as Emperors of the HRE frequently). Since Germany had no capital, the King traveled to reside on location where 'needed'. The "palace" in Aachen is one such "Pfalz", special because it was the traditional coronation palace for every King. Today, a lot of these palaces are called "Kaiserpfalz", but this is a more modern expression which overlooks that the king was only emperor when crowned as such by the pope through most of the Middle-Ages, and that the Emperor would frequently have his son elected king before he himself was dead to ensure family succession. Thus, "Königspfalz" would be a more fitting expression (and here in Dortmund, the location is referred to as the "Königshof", i.e. royal court. Unsure how much of this would be suitable to be included in the list vs. the main article on "palace", which is a bit short on this issue as well.OliverH
