Neues Schloss Bayreuth

The Neues Schloss features refined Rococo architecture with delicate stuccos, wall paneling, and intricate ceiling paintings throughout its grand halls and chambers.

Construction began in 1753 after a fire destroyed the previous residence, with architects Joseph Saint-Pierre, Carl von Gontard, and Rudolf Heinrich Richter completing the palace by 1758.

The palace contains the Rummel collection of Bayreuth faience pieces and houses a museum dedicated to Margravine Wilhelmine's court life in the 18th century.

Located at Bernecker Straße 7-9, visitors can access the palace grounds through the garden gate and explore multiple preserved rooms including the Gold Ceiling Salon.

The palace incorporates a former reformed church into its structure, resulting in unusual architectural features such as seemingly bricked-up entrances within its walls.
