The Roth City Palace, which was given to the city of Roth as a gift in 1942, is largely freely accessible and definitely worth a visit. In addition to the idyllic inner courtyard with various facilities such as the city library, city museum and the city council meeting room, the romantic castle garden and the castle moat are particularly worth seeing.

The building of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach is one of the few well preserved estates of the German Early Renaissance. Margrave Georg “the Godfearing” built this impressive hunting castle from 1535 until 1538. Decision for the location was the abundance of game in the surrounding forests. He financed the new building through revenues that he raised in his Silesian principalities Ratibor and Oppeln. Therefore, he called it “Ratibor castle at the Retzet River” (Rednitz River). With the resignation of the last Margrave in 1791 Johann Philip Stieber bought the castle and set up a production of Leonian wires (i.e. fine wires made out of false gold and silver). From 1858 until 1892 the district court was in session in the western building. At the turn of the 19./20th century Wilhelm von Stieber employed renowned artists to redesign the interior of the castle in the German and Italian Late Renaissance style. Among those artists were Ferdinand Wagner, Rudolf von Seitz, Friedrich Wanderer and Conradin Walther: Elaborate stucco in the staircase with marble, artistically designed wood panels in the fireside room, conservatory and dining hall and the magnificent Prunksaal (splendour hall) with ceiling paintings depicting ancient myths and Gobelin paintings with scenes from the Odyssey. In 1942 the castle was donated to the City of Roth. The Museum Castle Ratibor was installed in the 2nd floor. The former royal stables now house of the public library as well as the city archives. The tourist-information is also situated at the eastern side of the castle. The rooms in Ratibor Castle contain a diverse and sometimes curious collection of the city’s and castle’s history and its various aspects. Plenty of evidence is given to the spheres of life of the residents in Roth. You will enjoy a firsthand look behind the facades of town houses at the beginning of the last century by looking at a proper parlor decorated with many endearing details. It will not only be the younger visitors who will find the toy collection especially notable. A collection of Franconian Hafner ceramics of the 19th century, which has been praised by many experts, shows the typical utility receptacles to be found in each and every household.

In the 14th century, Swinko Has (also called “Schwinke von Hasenburg”) built a pond here and kept it as an imperial fiefdom from 1358 onwards. It was intended to secure the trade route to the south.[1] In 1377 the Pfinzing patrician family acquired it. In 1471 this building was destroyed by the city of Nuremberg. In 1428 the Waldstromers of Reichelsdorf received the building as an imperial fiefdom. In 1519/20 a new pond house was built, which was burned down in 1552 during the Second Margrave War.[2][3] The property was acquired in 1578 by the merchant Valentin Schönborn and rebuilt as a castle.[4] In 1582 Pius Petz acquired it when he married his wife Marie Schönborn, and it has been called Petzenschloss ever since. During the Thirty Years' War, a fortified camp was built on the site next to the castle by Gustaf Adolf in 1632; the castle served as his headquarters.[5] In the same year the castle was damaged by imperial troops. In 1722 the stables were expanded. In 1910/11 it was rebuilt according to plans by the architect Rudolph Behringer. In 1944, during the Second World War, the farm buildings were destroyed by air raids Source: Wikipedia
