The Margrave Castle of Günzburg, together with the former court church of Ss. Trinitatis and today's town hall, forms a monumental focal point in the urban structure of the Bavarian town of Günzburg.

The Margrave's Palace is a three-winged palace complex located in the center of Günzburg, featuring architectural elements from various periods.
The Italian architect Alberto Lucchese oversaw the palace's reconstruction from 1577 to 1586 for Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol, costing 132,000 guilders.
The palace remains the only surviving Habsburg residence in Germany and represents centuries of Austrian influence in Bavaria.
The south wing of the palace houses a local history museum, while other areas serve as offices for the tax administration.
