Under the direction of Wolf Christoph zu Pappenheim, the building was constructed as a generous extension to an existing city palace. The main building, with its four corner towers, round windows, column-supported portal surround and characteristic gables, displays simple Renaissance forms. The Old Palace now serves as the residence of the von und zu Egloffstein family of counts and is not open to the public.

The "Old Castle" was built around 1500 and was the former residence of the Marshals of Pappenheim until 1820. It is privately owned.
