The beautiful Concordia moated castle can be found in the area of the bourgeois palace. In 1705 the ownership of the area went to Johann Ignatz Tobias Böttinger, who was given timber for the construction of the palace from Prince-Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn. Like many other magnificent buildings in Bamberg, the palace was planned by Johann Dientzenhofer. Work began in 1717 and at the end of 1720. The garden continued until 1722. The house remained in the family ownership of the Böttinger family until 1787. Few other owners followed, until in 1837 the association "Gesellschaft Concordia" took over the castle. It remained in their possession until 1935. In that year the city of Bamberg purchased the moated castle.

The International House of Artists Villa Concordia has been in existence for 25 years. The founding took place on October 20, 1997. The artists' and scholarship holders' house, which is operated on behalf of the Free State of Bavaria, offers artists of the fine arts, literature and music the opportunity to work on their own projects without obligations within the framework of a residence and living allowance and to present them to the public at events. The scholarship holders are selected by a board of trustees. Self-application is not possible. The grants do not serve to promote young talent, but give established artists time and space to realize projects.
