The Amthof (administrative building) of Bad Camberg served as the seat of the Electorate of Trier's bailiffs in the jointly ruled town of Camberg from 1564 to 1816. It is a multi-winged complex with 145 meters of exposed timber framing. The "Heiden Building," the oldest part, was erected in 1605 by Bailiff Lubert von Heiden. His coat of arms and that of his wife, Ursula von Schöneberg, are featured in the parapet panels. Elevated St. Andrew's crosses spanning two bays and ornate corner posts with arborvitae frame the facade. The "Hohenfeld Building," with its two double-story oriel windows, was added in 1609 and 1669.

With the addition of a timber-framed upper story for the watchman, a steep hipped roof, and a small bell tower, the 33-meter-high tower acquired its present appearance in 1630. The four-story tower is the only completely preserved structure of the former city wall dating from 1385.

Built in 1605 on the foundations of the previous building, the 155-meter-long facade was acquired by the city in 1942. https://amthofcafe-bad-camberg.de https://amthof-galerie.de/veranstaltungen

This is one of the largest half-timbered buildings in Hesse. Formerly three individual farms, these were merged into one complex by 1669. It is the seat of the city administration.

Not much remains of the old city fortifications. Of the original 13 towers, only two remain: the Lower Gate Tower and the Upper Gate Tower.

The Obertorturm was built in 1392 and today represents a historic entrance to the old town.
