With 2.4 million residents in a 30-minute radius, Palais Vest is located in the densely-populated, economic heart of Recklinghausen, the northernmost city in Germany’s Ruhr region.

The shopping centre offers a large selection of brands (such as the first Reserved store in Germany), food options, and spaces dedicated to art, design, and culture. Palais Veste also has a robust events program and a number of personalised services.

The designers of the shopping centre were inspired by the region’s medieval past, recreating a castle-like structure with imposing chandeliers, avant-garde furniture and art.
