Prince-Bishop's Residence, Religious architectural monument in Freising, Germany.

The Prince-Bishop's Residence features three stories with four wings, incorporating Renaissance design elements and two-story arcades on its north and east sections.

The residence originated in 1314 as a bishop's castle and underwent substantial transformation between 1607 and 1622 to become a Renaissance palace complex.

The structure includes a chapel in the northeast tower and the Fürstengang, a corridor connecting the residence to the Cathedral, representing medieval religious architecture.

The building currently functions as Cardinal Döpfner House, providing space for educational programs and religious instruction in the Freising community.

The residence contains a preserved medieval kitchen area that was modified in the 17th century and expanded with a dining hall in 1884.
