    The electoral palace in Amberg was from 1417 by Elector Ludwig III. built by the Palatinate. The castle has housed the Royal Bavarian District Office and Rent Office since the 19th century, later the District Office of the Amberg district and, from 1972, the Amberg-Sulzbach district. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurf%C3%BCrstliches_Schloss_(Amberg)

      From 1417 onwards, Elector Friedrich I had a castle built on the river Vils. This was expanded into a large Renaissance complex in the 16th century. A few parts of this are still standing, in which the district office in Amberg was also housed
