Palast

The Palast, also called Böttingerhaus, is a city palace in Bamberg featuring elaborate exterior walls, decorative elements, and carefully detailed architecture built according to Baroque design principles. The facade displays windows and doors in symmetrical arrangement that define the overall appearance of the building.

Architect Johann Dientzenhofer designed this city palace in the early 1700s during a period of major architectural reshaping of Bavaria. The construction method followed European models of the time and made the building a record of this development.

The structure displays skilled stonework through carefully carved details and a balanced facade that reflects the understanding of proportion from its era. Visitors can notice these crafted elements in the window and door designs that shape the character of this part of the city.

The building stands on Judenstraße 14 in Bamberg's old town and is located near other historical structures. Access is on foot and it is often included in walking tours that tell about the historical places in the area.

The building retained its original structural elements and decorations, making it a protected architectural monument of Bavaria. This preservation allows visitors to see directly the craftsmanship techniques and building materials from several centuries ago.
