Bischofshof, Episcopal residence next to St. Peter's Cathedral in Regensburg, Germany.

The Bischofshof features a four-wing layout with Renaissance arcades from 1520 and incorporates sections of ancient Roman walls in its northern wing.

Construction of the Bischofshof began between 700 and 1172 during the establishment of the predecessor to the current Regensburg Cathedral.

The inner courtyard displays a bronze fountain depicting the Tale of the Goose Sermon, installed in 1980 to represent local folklore.

The building now functions as a hotel and restaurant complex, offering accommodations and regional cuisine in the center of Regensburg.

The Porta Praetoria, an ancient Roman gate, was discovered within the episcopal brewery buildings in 1885 and remains integrated into the structure.
