The palace, also known as the Royal Palace and completely surrounded by a high wall, was once a royal residence and now houses a museum of regional history. It resembles a small, deserted ghost town, its architecture a unique mix of the white walls of the palace buildings and crumbling brick structures. It's worth a visit, but don't expect stunning architecture – for a former royal residence, it's rather plain.
