Johannisburg Palace, formerly Johannisburg Palace, in Aschaffenburg served as the second residence of the archbishops and electors of Mainz until 1803. It was built from red sandstone between 1605 and 1614 by the Strasbourg master builder Georg Ridinger. The complex consists of four large wings, each with three floors. There is a tower at each corner, in the four corners of the courtyard there are additional smaller stair towers. From 1814 until the end of the monarchy in 1918, the palace belonged to the Bavarian Crown. Today, the Free State of Bavaria is the owner and the complex is managed by the Bavarian Administration for State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes. The castle also houses the castle museum and the administration of the museums of the city of Aschaffenburg. The castle dominates the image of the city of Aschaffenburg and is considered its greatest attraction. A local poet from Aschaffenburg once said: "The city is your castle."
