Neuburg an der Donau

Neuburg an der Donau sits along the Danube River, featuring stone walls that encircle a central district with Renaissance buildings and narrow streets.

The settlement evolved from a Bronze Age location into a Roman fortress, later becoming the capital of a principality under the Wittelsbach family from 1557 to 1742.

The Renaissance Ducal Palace contains multiple museums, including galleries displaying Bavarian State art collections and historical artifacts from the region.

The town's railway station, positioned 2 kilometers from the center, provides regular connections to Ingolstadt and Ulm through regional train services.

The castle structure includes the first Protestant church built in Germany, reflecting the religious changes during the rule of Duke Ottoheinrich in the 16th century.
