Between 1544 and 1547, Elector Friedrich II established the electoral government chancellery to separate the court and administration, and this marked the beginning of the Renaissance in Amberg. The three-storey gabled building was made of standing stone blocks. The portraits of Elector Frederick II, his wife Dorothea of Denmark and the fathers of the princely couple as well as the coats of arms of the Electoral Palatinate and the Kingdom of Denmark were placed in the magnificent oriel projecting above the main portal on the eastern long side. The building, to which a polygonal stair tower was added in the court of Elector Friedrich IV in 1601, was supplemented by an extension in the second half of the 18th century. Today the building houses the district court.
