    The bishop's seat impresses with its classicist architecture. The architectural highlight can be seen in the round stair tower with the French dome. Today the city library and the Carl Lohse gallery are located in the bishopric.

    The so-called Bishop's Seat was rebuilt in 1818 at the instigation of Gottlob Friedrich Thormeyer in its preserved neoclassical form after the great Bischofswerda fire of 1813. The two-wing courtyard enclosure was added later.
    The City and District Library is located on the middle floor of the main building.
