    The Baroque palace, inhabited successively by four Prince-Bishops of Speyer and built as their residence from 1722 onwards, is well worth seeing and can be visited without a guided tour for a fee. The staircase, like that of the WĂĽrzburg Residence, was built by the famous architect Balthasar Neumann. Unfortunately, the palace, along with the entire city and the railway junction, was destroyed in a bombing raid on March 1, 1945. Except for many stucco ceilings, the palace was subsequently extensively restored, including the three ceiling frescoes in the staircase and the two large ballrooms. In addition to the palace gardens, the complex includes numerous other buildings. The tax office is housed in a large wing.

    The main building of the palace houses the very extensive German Music Automaton Museum and the smaller Bruchsal City Museum, spread over three floors.
