New Residence, Bamberg, Palace and historic site on Domberg, Bamberg, Germany
The New Residence features three state apartments, including the Imperial Hall with its late 17th-century Baroque architecture and detailed ceiling frescoes.
Construction began in 1602 under Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Gebzattel with Renaissance-style wings, followed by Baroque additions from 1697 to 1703.
The State Gallery exhibits German and Baroque paintings from the Bavarian State Collection, along with sculptures by Ferdinand Tietz across fifty rooms.
Visitors need to join guided tours to access the state apartments, and the Bamberg State Library occupies the east wing of the residence.
The residence contains over 500 pieces of original furniture and maintains its historical inventory from the time of prince-bishops to royal inhabitants.
