Alter Hofhaltung, A Renaissance Gem with Tranquil Courtyards

Domplatz 7

Introduction

The old imperial palace, connected to the main cathedral, was once the episcopal palace, built in 1570 and reflects the architectural style of the Renaissance period. It features a delicate and exquisite "Beautiful Gate" (Schöne Pforte). Today, it is a particularly peaceful and charming courtyard, with the old house adopting a classic timber frame structure and balconies adorned with colorful flowers. The Bamberg Historical Museum (Historisches Museum Bamberg) is also located here.
