Residenz Ansbach (Ansbach Residence), also known as Markgrafenschloss (Margrave's Palace), is a palace in Ansbach, Germany. It was the government seat of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. Today it is the administrative seat of the government of Middle Franconia.[1][2][3][4] The Great Hall and the Orangerie in its garden serve as venues for the biennial music festival Bachwoche Ansbach.[5][6]
