Alte Kanzlei Stuttgart

Beautiful and well-preserved building in a central location opposite the old castle and near the castle square with the new castle.
For a little refreshment or a more expansive feast, a visit to the building's restaurant is recommended.

The Old Chancellery is a building in Stuttgart in which the sovereign administration was based. After the New Chancellery was built in 1838, the building was renamed the Old Chancellery. The court pharmacy and the restaurant "Alte Kanzlei" have been housed on the ground floor since the 1950s. The upper floors are occupied by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice, whose headquarters are in the neighboring Prinzenbau.

The Old Chancellery is part of the historic ensemble of buildings around the Schiller Monument on Schillerplatz, which also includes the Prinzenbau, the Old Palace, the Collegiate Church and the Fruchtkasten.

The eastern part of the Old Chancellery was built between 1544 and 1546 under Duke Ulrich von Württemberg. In 1566, the architect Aberlin Tretsch added a floor to the building and extended it to the Prinzenbau. After a fire in 1683, the building was rebuilt by Matthias Weiß (1636-1707).
