Burg Lißberg in Lißberg

Interesting building ensemble from different eras. Somehow everything fits together harmoniously. An absolute must when visiting Bamberg.

A beautiful baroque moated castle with lovely gardens directly on the Regnitz River. It has been used as the international artists' residence "Villa Concordia" for over 25 years.

The Altenburg is a medieval hilltop castle in the west of the independent city of Bamberg in the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Franconia

Impressive building with a beautiful garden directly on the Regnitz.

The International House of Artists Villa Concordia has been in existence for 25 years. The founding took place on October 20, 1997. The artists' and scholarship holders' house, which is operated on behalf of the Free State of Bavaria, offers artists of the fine arts, literature and music the opportunity to work on their own projects without obligations within the framework of a residence and living allowance and to present them to the public at events. The scholarship holders are selected by a board of trustees. Self-application is not possible. The grants do not serve to promote young talent, but give established artists time and space to realize projects.

The magnificent facades of the New Residence show how the baroque prince-bishops resided. A highlight of the baroque interior is the Kaisersaal. The Tyrolean-born painter Melchior Steidl frescoed the walls and ceiling of the hall from 1707 to 1709 with a complex pictorial program that shows the connection between the prince-bishopric and the rulers of the Old Kingdom. In addition to the showrooms of the palace administration, the New Residence also houses the State Gallery of the Bavarian State Painting Collections with masterpieces of old German and Baroque painting.

The Old Court houses the Historical Museum and the Catherine Chapel. The Katharinenkapelle offers space for civil weddings and since 2004 the 1000-year history of the city, which has become a cult piece, has been performed there under the title "Light and Shadow" on weekends from May to October.
