Ansbach Palace is virtually unique in Germany as a residence that still looks much as it did in the 18th century. Developed from a Late-Medieval complex, it acquired its present appearance at the hands of Gabriel di Gabrieli and Karl Friedrich von Zocha. Leopold Retti created the Early-Rococo interior.
Among the highlights are the ceiling painting in the Festival Hall by Carlo Carlone, the gallery with paintings from the margravial gallery (Branch of the Bavarian State Galleries) and the Mirror Cabinet with its exquisite pieces of Meissen porcelain.
A special rarity are the prepared margravial horses from the 18th century.
The Gothic Hall remaining from the renaissance building contains the important »Adolf Bayer Collection of Ansbach Ceramics«.
In the Court Garden opposite, which also features an orangery, is a splendid parterre with summer flowers and numerous tub plants, as well as a medicinal herb garden.
The Gothic Hall is suitable for receptions, exhibitions and lectures
The orangery is suitable for banquets, concerts and receptions up to 1.088 persons.
The Dome Hall of the orangery is suitable for banquets and receptions up to 300 persons.
The foyer of the orangery is suitable for receptions and small exhibitions up to 200 persons.
The citrus house is suitable for weddings and exhibitions up to 70 persons.
