Markgraf Georg Friedrich (reigned 1556/7–1603) resided in Ansbach and Kulmbach. Between 1565 and 1595, he had the old castle in Bayreuth renovated, which became the princely residence in 1603/4. The octagonal Christ Tower was built between 1565 and 1567 as a symbol of power to mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther's Reformation. The architecture of the stair tower combines the theological teachings of the Reformer with the artistic and intellectual world of the Italian Renaissance. The parish records of the town church list G. Matthes as "current master builder at the castle tower here and the chief master builder at Blassenberg, C. Vischer's son-in-law."
