Altes Schloss Oettingen, Baroque palace in Oettingen in Bayern, Germany.

The Altes Schloss Oettingen stands between Hof and Manggasse streets, featuring a tower-shaped gateway and extensive gallery construction from the 17th century.

The medieval castle transformed into a residence for the Protestant Oettingen-Oettingen line, leading to a religious division within the city during the 16th century.

Emperor Charles VI stayed in the palace's imperial chambers on December 10, 1711, during his journey to the imperial coronation in Frankfurt.

The former castle church choir remains accessible as the burial chapel for the Oettingen-Spielberg family line.

The palace maintained separate living quarters for Protestant princes while Catholic counts resided in the New Castle, reflecting the city's religious separation.
