New Castle, Neoclassical castle in Hechingen, Germany

The Neues Schloss features a three-winged structure with Ionic pilasters adorning its facade and a central risalit that rises above the side wings.

The castle was constructed between 1818 and 1819 under Prince Friedrich Hermann Otto, replacing a Renaissance palace that stood at the same location since the 16th century.

The castle witnessed the grand Hohenzollern wedding of 1598, which brought together over 1000 guests for celebrations lasting an entire week.

The building now serves as the headquarters of Sparkasse Zollernalb bank, offering a modern purpose to this nineteenth-century architectural structure.

The construction of this castle was funded by French reparations following the Congress of Vienna, yet financial constraints left it permanently unfinished.
