Palais Rochow was a city palace located in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany. Constructed in 1789 by Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow, it was a notable example of early classicism with a distinctly baroque appearance. The palace was situated in the Neustadt district at the corner of Sankt-Annen-Straße and Deutsches Dorf. Its facade facing Sankt-Annen-Straße featured eight architectural axes, while the side facing Deutsches Dorf had nine. The building had three full stories and a high mansard roof, making it taller than the surrounding two-story structures. The facade was symmetrically designed with quoined pilasters and included risalits crowned with triangular pediments. The right risalit contained a passageway, and the left housed the main entrance. The facade was further adorned with balustrades and volute-supported cornices. By the mid-19th century, the ground floor accommodated shops, including those of merchant Rost and later soap dealer Zieten. Unfortunately, Palais Rochow was destroyed during World War II in 1945. Today, the site hosts a multi-story residential and commercial building, but the original cellar remains and is protected as a historical monument. The palace's architectural and historical significance is remembered through its preserved cellar and historical records.
