The New Residence by Travelchili
Right across the Imperial Cathedral and the Old Household, you can see the New Residence. It was built in the 17th century because the Old Household wasn't impressive enough for the Prince - Bishops. This building was designed by Court Architect Dientzenhofer and it is a three-storey construction, except for four-storey tower-like corner. It is known as the "Vierzehnheiligen Pavilion" because on a clear day you can see the pilgrimage church Vierzehnheiligen at Staffelstein from the top. Today it houses the State Library.The New Residence is open on the following times:April through Sept. daily from 9:00 to 18:00
Oct. through Mar. daily from 9:00 to 16:00
It is really worth to go inside and see some of the magnificent rooms like the Imperial Hall and the Chinese Cabinet. In addition, they have a very valuable collection of paintings.
