The Old Town Hall is one of the city's most beautiful half-timbered buildings and stands directly on Borgiasplatz next to the city parish church. It was built in 1531 and served as the seat of the city council, council chamber, and trading center until 1782. Its Gothic turrets, imposing gable, and lovingly restored half-timbered facade are particularly striking. After a controversial partial reconstruction in the 1960s and further renovation in 2014, the building now shines in its historic splendor once again—with modern shops inside and a Madonna statue as an eye-catcher.

The city palace, with its preserved historical rooms, offers insights into the princely living culture of the Baroque and Classicism periods. Its predecessors were an abbot's castle (around 1300) and a four-wing Renaissance palace built between 1607 and 1612, which was redesigned from 1706 to 1721 according to plans by Johannes Dientzenhofer and served as the Baroque residence of the prince-abbots and prince-bishops of Fulda.

The Fulda City Palace, now the seat of the city administration, was built between 1708 and 1714 as the residence of the Prince Abbots of Fulda and later the Prince Bishops. The City Palace is a four-wing complex with two side wings in front, which enclose a courtyard of honor. The foundation walls and tower of the four-wing complex partly date from the previous buildings, the old Abbot's Castle and a Renaissance palace from the 17th century. Inside, many historical rooms have been preserved true to the original and can be visited. They impressively document the life and living culture of the absolutist rulers. There is, for example, the magnificent Prince's Hall, which is regularly used for classical concerts or other cultural events. The meetings of the city council are also held here. The heart of the palace, however, is the residential wing of the Prince Abbots and later the Prince Bishops. It was furnished around 1730 and later redesigned in the Rococo style. The most magnificent room is probably the Hall of Mirrors - the former dressing room of the prince abbot, which is equipped with hundreds of small and large mirrors. The city palace also houses a museum in which, among other things, an exquisite porcelain collection can be admired. https://www.rhoenfuehrer.de/ausflugsziele/sehenswuerdigkeiten/burgen-schloesser/stadtschloss-fulda/2950

From the back part of the garden you have a beautiful view of Fulda. The city bus to Fulda drives in front of the provost. In about 15 minutes you are at the cathedral.
