Former prince-bishop's residence at Fronhof

All that remains of the medieval episcopal palace, where the Confessio Augustana (the Augsburg Confession) was read in 1530, is the Palatinate Tower. The late baroque prince-bishop's city palace was built on top of its predecessor buildings. The main wing was built in 1743: above a magnificent portal, lions hold a rocaille cartouche with the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Joseph, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt. The north wing was built between 1750 and 1752. In the Fronhof, the green area between the cathedral and the episcopal residence, there is the double monument to Leopold and Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, donated by the Augsburg Mozart Community in 1991.

A great structure. The courtyard garden by the complex completes the extraordinary flair in the middle of the city.

The government of Swabia has been housed since 1817 in the former residence buildings of the prince-bishops of Augsburg at the cathedral. The main building of the residence with the beautiful entrance portal on the east side originally consisted of three lined-up houses and had already been consolidated before 1680 under Bishop Johann Christoph von Freiberg to a uniform rule building. The pillared balcony above the passageway was added between 1784 and 1789 to commemorate the visit of Pope Pius VI, who had been a guest here in 1782.
