Located 20 minutes from Minneapolis in Chanhassen, MN, Paisley Park was more than just a home for Prince. It was where he wrote, recorded, and even performed. The 65,000 square foot, $10 million estate which sits on nine acres of land was completed in 1988 as a place for Prince to live and work away from the chaos of Hollywood and New York City.

The world was shocked and heartbroken when the “Diamonds and Pearls” artist was found dead in this home on April 21, 2016 at age 57. But just six months later, the artist’s dream of opening Paisley Park to the public came true when it began welcoming fans from all over the world for tours.

This massive compound is a place you have to see to believe. In honor of his June 7 birthday, check out these photos of this amazing purple palace.
