点评:The Residential Palace is probably the most important attraction in Bad Mergentheim. It is located just east of the Old Town and makes for a nice place to spend an hour or two sightseeing. Opening times are 10.30am to 5pm daily, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Entry fee €10 per adult. A thick guide in English is provided at the front desk with information for each room and gallery you visit. We found this very helpful for learning about interesting museum exhibitions and artefacts seen within the Palace. Just return to the front desk once you've finished your visit.
Historically, this palace was built in the 12th century and and has a very long history of being used by the Teutonic Order. You'll see Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance features representing various time periods of the palace's past.
Today, the palace plays host to the Teutonic Order Museum (Deutschordensmuseum) including a couple of floors that present around 800 years history of the Order You can also see the lavishly furnished State Rooms, the 18th-century Baroque Castle Church and Renaissance Courtyard.
A particular highlight that we enjoyed were the 16th-century Berwart Spiral Staircases, particularly the one just through the main entrance after the ticket desk. From here you can look straight up through the conical and spiral-shaped staircase through a central spindle.
We spent around 90 minutes at the Residenzschloss in Bad Mergentheim. There is a courtyard cafe that makes for a good spot to rest your feet and enjoy a coffee & cake before or after your visit. Just past the palace are the expansive Schloss Gardens which we didn't have time to visit on the day unfortunately.
翻译:巴特梅根特海姆的官邸宫殿可能是这里最重要的景点。它位于老城区东侧,是消磨一两个小时观光游览的好去处。开放时间为每日上午 10:30 至下午 5:00,周一和周二闭馆。
门票:成人 10 欧元。前台提供一本厚厚的英文导览手册,其中包含您参观的每个房间和展厅的信息。我们发现这本手册对于了解宫殿内有趣的博物馆展览和文物非常有帮助。参观结束后,只需将导览手册交还给前台即可。
从历史上看,这座宫殿建于 12 世纪,曾长期被条顿骑士团使用。您将看到代表宫殿不同历史时期的中世纪、巴洛克和文艺复兴时期的建筑特色。
如今,这座宫殿是条顿骑士团博物馆(Deutschordensmuseum)的所在地,其中几层楼展示了该骑士团约800年的历史。您还可以参观装饰华丽的国事厅、18世纪的巴洛克式城堡教堂和文艺复兴风格的庭院。
我们尤其喜欢16世纪的贝瓦特螺旋楼梯,特别是售票处后正门入口处的那座。从这里,您可以透过中央的螺旋柱,直视锥形螺旋楼梯的顶部。
我们在巴特梅根特海姆的王宫(Residenzschloss)游览了大约90分钟。宫内有一个庭院咖啡馆,是参观前后休息片刻、享用咖啡和蛋糕的好去处。穿过宫殿便是广阔的宫廷花园,可惜我们当天没有时间游览。
