En un regard
Le château en bref
The Besoldsches Haus is a Baroque noble palace at Hauptstraße 26, on the main axis of the new town of Erlangen. It is a three-storey sandstone building under a mansard roof, with a richly decorated façade, built in 1733; the stair balustrade bears the date 1746. According to a local discovery trail, the court chamber councillor Zacharias Buck had it built between 1733 and 1744. The ground floor has been altered and the inner courtyard is now covered over; together with the rear building at Halbmondstraße 5, the house forms a protected ensemble among Bavaria's listed monuments. The ground floor now houses shops.
