New residence Passau
The new episcopal residence of the prince-bishops of Passau was built from 1712 to 1730 in the late Viennese baroque style. The builders were probably the Italian Domenico d'Angeli and the Viennese Antonio Beduzzi .
description
Under Prince-Bishop Cardinal Leopold Ernst von Firmian , the building was decorated with two portals and a roof balustrade from 1765 to 1771 by Melchior Hefele from Vienna . The two protruding balconies are marked with the dates 1770 and 1771.
Inside, the stairwell with its stucco work by Johann Baptist Modler and the ceiling fresco by Johann Georg Unruhe from around 1768 are particularly important. The ceiling fresco depicts the gods of Olympus. Putti, created by the Passau sculptor Joseph Bergler the Elder, sit on the banisters.
The stairwell is accessible. The Episcopal Ordinariate with the entrance to the Cathedral Treasury Museum is now located in the New Residence. The building is connected to the old residence via the so-called hall building .
For the entire complex of the residence, see residence (Passau) .
