To make a day of it
Residenz Ansbach stands in Ansbach (Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Adult admission costs 6 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 30, 2026.
The Residenz Ansbach was the seat of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach, built over the remains of a medieval fortified house that was turned into a baroque palace during the 18th century. The four-wing complex preserves striking rococo interiors, including a hall of mirrors decorated with Meissen porcelain and a festival hall with a ceiling fresco by Carlo Carlone. Visitors can also see a painting gallery linked to the Bavarian state collections and a Gothic hall displaying earthenware and porcelain from the former Ansbach manufactory. Part of the building now houses the regional government offices of Middle Franconia, so only certain sections are open to visitors.
