The Old Courtyard was the 'old' residence of the bishops of Bamberg. Buildings have been on the site since the 11th century. The current Renaissance-style structure is the third on the site and was erected in the 15th century, alongside the cathedral. The chapel and the palas are still evident. There are picturesque dwellings in the Old Courtyard which are festooned with flowers blooming on their balconies in season. The historical Bamberg museum is in the complex. The history of the Jewish people in Bamberg is told there. There are other hands-on programs in the museum and events such as birthday parties are catered for.
