The Old Castle is a former residence of the margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in the city of Bayreuth, which has belonged to Bavaria since 1810. The three-wing complex was built from 1603 on the orders of Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, to a design by Michael Mebart, in the Renaissance style. Since 1954 it has housed the tax office.
