Neue Residenz

Johannes Krause 6 months ago

The new residence is a magnificent building. Both inside and out, it reflects the wealth of its former owners. On the first floor, there is a small art gallery, and a guided tour allows visitors to explore the chambers and halls of the former owners. The Emperor’s Hall on the second floor is particularly extravagant, even though, according to history, the emperor is said never to have been there.

A beautiful and historic building close to the old town, right next to the Old Court and Bamberg Cathedral. It looks very impressive from the outside and has a lovely garden in the inner courtyard, mostly filled with roses. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit inside, but it definitely looked promising. Next time, we would love to explore the interior as well.

Neue Residenz is the elegant palace building at Domplatz. It is a 40 room Baroque complex which houses the State Rooms and State Gallery along with a charming Rose Garden. Opening hours are 10am to 4pm daily and entry is €6 per adult. The Rose Garden can be accessed freely and affords lovely views of the lower section of the historic centre of Bamberg. Neue Residenz was constructed mostly in the 17th-century and is a fine representation of Austrian-Bohemian Baroque architecture. The State Rooms are highly decorative with outstanding ceiling frescos. The Imperial Hall fresco works by Melchior Steidl (1709) is a masterpiece, probably one of the finest of its kind in Franconia. The State Gallery is where you find European masterpieces mostly from the Baroque period. This makes for a nice art viewing experience as well. Easy to spend 45-60 minutes between the two, make sure to allow another 10-15 for the Rose Garden as part of your visit as well.

Neue Residenz Bamberg is a stunning palace that offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the prince-bishops who once called it home. The 6 Euro entry fee is well worth it to explore the ornately decorated rooms, beautiful gardens, and the captivating Imperial Hall. The architecture is impressive, and the guided tour provides a fascinating insight into the history of the palace and its inhabitants. Be sure to set aside a few hours to fully immerse yourself in this magnificent residence's grandeur and charm!

A beautiful and historic building again close to the old town. Is right next to the historic old court and Bamberg Cathedral. Although it looks really promising from outside we couldn’t manage time to visit inside. It has a beautiful garden with mostly roses in the inner yard. Next time we would be visiting inside too.
