Large parts of the palace are under renovation as were several statues in the garden which whilst necessary rather spoilt the views. From the outside. You can only go inside the palace on guided tours at set times, unfortunately they do not do any tours in English. I understand that we would have been given cards in English to read as we went round, but we decided not to bother. It would be helpful if they had headphones with different language guides available so that there isn’t the need to wait for set times to see inside. Prices were however reasonable at €5 per person for the tour. We also found the gardens disappointing, although large it is mostly trees and hedges and no flowers. The cafe in the grounds was lovely and a great spot for lunch.

Travelled for 2 hours to the castle just to be told that they accept only cash. Wasn't let in. Everything is being repaired now so the view is distracted too.

From the interior of the castle I was very disappointed, I have never seen uglier. The chateau and its surroundings were nice.

This palace was built as a summer residence for the prince bishop of Bamberg and you can tell it was once glorious. It is now in a very sad and neglected condition and is somewhat depressing to visit although one can see the grandeur that once was. We saw it during a Viking Franconian Countryside tour and it might be difficult to access outside of an organized tour. In its present condition, it only rates 3 stars. Too bad a treasure is rotting in front of everyone. To take another example, the gardens used to have 400 statues but now only 40 or so.

One condition: you must arrive before 17:30 (at least that was the deadline when we've been there) to catch working fountains. Later, the palace loses a lot of its charm. Cheap parking nearby, so you do not have to worry about that.

We were able to bike here. For that experience it was fun and worth it. Try and plan your visit to watch the fountains working. For some reason they're on a schedule which is mostly off. They are picture worthy. There are some interesting statues left, made more interesting by the fact that most of them are gone. Where you see a planted pot/tree, just know that at one time there was a statue. Once there were over 400 but sometime in the 70's the owners decided to start selling them off before the conservancy could buy the property.

Seehof is a very nice palace in the country near Bamberg. Not very big but interesting. Great guide made sure we understood and pointed out things that were not on the printed English tour. The fountains in back are worth seeing. Wonderful café. Plenty of parking.

Although not the biggest or most impressive Schloss in Germany, it is nevertheless worth a visit. We were only able to take a German speaking tour but were provided with an English written guide to help us get the history of the place. Yet another of the residences of the very wealthy Prince Bishops. There are several lovely frescoed ceilings, one with a cheeky little cupid whose crossbow is pointing right at you no matter where you stand in the room. There is a delightful restaurant in the courtyard that serves excellent lunches which you can enjoy while admiring the orange trees. The Schloss makes its own marmalade from the oranges grown there.

The castle Seehof is worth wile to be visited. You are shown around in the beautiful rooms by a very experienced guide who adds humoristic spices to the historiv´cal explanations. We followed a German guide and realy enjoyed the visit.

The gardens with its lemon trees and the hourly water fountains are well worth a visit to this palace located just outside of Bamberg. €1 Parking Fee for the whole day.
