Electoral Palace, Royal palace in Amberg, Germany
The Electoral Palace features a prominent south wing with a high voluted gable, designed by architect Johannes Schoch in 1603 next to the Vils river.
Elector Ludwig III commissioned the palace construction in 1417 to replace the former residence at oak forest square, transforming it into a fortified structure.
The palace represents the power shift of electoral authority, serving as a residence for the Electors of Palatinate until the dissolution of the electorate.
The District Office of Amberg-Sulzbach currently operates from the Electoral Palace, maintaining regular administrative hours for public services.
A fortified bridge called Stadtbrille connects the Electoral Palace to the Zeughaus across the Vils river, forming a distinctive architectural ensemble.
