Imperial Chamber Court Museum

The Imperial Chamber Court Museum was opened in 1987. It uses a three-storey camera palace built by the court assessor Franz von Papius, which is ideally suited for museum presentation. As a special historical museum, it draws on a considerable collection of its own and on permanent loans.

Original paintings, furniture, sculptures and contemporary printed works, as well as graphic representations and textual explanations, are used to illustrate the structure, working methods, difficulties and obstacles, but also the achievements and effects of the Imperial Chamber Court throughout its entire period of activity, its role in the coexistence of the imperial organs and its significance for the development of legal literature and the history of social and mentalities. A room is available for a film screening as an introduction to the topic.
