From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
German has contrasting words for what may be considered a palace: Burg which connotes a seat that is enclosed by walls, a fastness or keep, and Schloss , a more conscious borrowing, with the usual connotations of splendour. In practice, the Schloss is more likely to be a royal or ducal palace.
Besides, the term Palais is mostly used for noble manor houses or palatial residences.
