Residences of the Maustanian heads of state

Theresidences of the Maustanian heads of state are several castles, palaces or houses in Costa Maustan, either formerly or currently used by the First and Second families or the Royal Family. The residences are administered by the government through the NMA, though they are privatized. Since 1960, the residences have been opened up for public visits.

Whitestone (Kronchester) Palace
The Whitestone Palace is the principal palace used by the First and Second families. It was built during 1690-1693 in North Kronchester and served as the monarch's working palace and as his home. Parts of it are opened as a museum throughout the year.

Pernstow Palace
Pernstow Palace is the old royal palace located in Helmscastle, built during 1807-1809. It served as the main residence from 1809, until 1954 when the Second Revolutionary War began. Since after the war, it has been used as a summer retreat by the presidential families. It is also used to receive foreign dignitaries. Most of the palace is opened up as a museum to the public.

Blainrose Castle
Blainrose Castle is the personal residence of the Gunderson family. Unlike the other former royal residences, it is entirely privately-owned by the family. Built in the 20th century, it has been first owned by the royal dynasties that ruled the Trilian Empire from 1838 till 1913. Currently it is inhabited by Geuvaria’s ruling Gunderson family since 1935. Blainrose Castle has always been used year-round and rarely as a winter retreat. It is not open to the public, though people are able to tour the grounds and the gardens free of charge.

Bitburg Castle
Bitburg Castle is an old medieval castle near Swantown. It was built in 1429-1443 and was a defensive home for the Royal family and it was used for that purpose during the Brunanter Civil War. Bitburg castle is no longer used (though the family may still use it if wanted). In 1955, it was opened to the public as a museum.

Caroline Palace
Caroline Palace was built for Caroline, The Queen Mother, but her death in 1904 saw the palace become property of her son, Prince Eugen. The property remained within this branch of the Royal Family until 1965, when it was sold to Anton Roos. It's current owner remains unknown and the house itself is strictly guarded.

Koningsberg Palace
The Koningsberg Palace is a palace in Koningstad Centrum that currently serves as the meeting place of the Congress, both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It was built for King Marten I and the Royal Family used this as a retreat.

Leuvisberg Castle
Leuvisberg Castle is a Renaissance-era castle near Vianna in Carrington Parish. It was built on the orders of King Leuvis II, but was sold in 1613 and serves as the home of the Count of Drenthe and his family since then.

Steenhuis Manor
Steenhuis Manor was the original summer retreat of the king in Koningstad, but it is currently neither owned by the government or the Van Draak family. James Stanton is the current owner of this large estate.

Villa Francesca
Villa Francesca in Cettatie was built for Crown Prince Johan's lover Charlotte de Loménie. From 1851 on, it was used by Queen Maria Francesca, former Prince Ferdinand and his family and the Brunanter consulate in Cettatie. It was demolished in 1974. Until 2019, a rebuilt chapel remained property of the Royal Family.
