Residenzschloss Oettingen in Bayern, Baroque palace and museum in Oettingen in Bayern, Germany.
Residenzschloss Oettingen in Bayern is a Baroque palace at the center of town with three stories. The rooms house administrative offices, royal quarters, and a grand ceremonial hall.
Construction occurred between 1679 and 1687 under Countess Ludowika Rosalie following designs by architect Giacomo Angelini and builder Mathias Weiss. The building emerged during a period of major princely construction activity in the region.
The interior spaces display elaborate stucco work by Mathias Schmuzer, particularly notable in the ceremonial hall on the second floor. These decorations shape the character of the rooms and show the craftsmanship of that period.
The palace offers guided tours and hosts regular concerts in the main hall from spring through autumn. Administration is located at Schloßstraße 1, where visitors can obtain information and book tours.
The palace facade incorporates a former city gate, visible at a slight bend between the ninth and tenth windows on the south side. This hidden architectural feature shows how the structure was built around existing town elements.
