Neue Burg, Neoclassical castle in Innere Stadt, Austria
The Neue Burg presents a symmetrical stone facade extending along Heldenplatz, featuring twenty historical statues and elaborate architectural details across multiple levels.
Construction of this imperial palace extension started in 1869 under Emperor Franz Joseph I and continued until 1923, involving architects Gottfried Semper and Carl von Hasenauer.
The palace houses several institutions, including the Austrian National Library's papyrus collection and the Museum of Art History's collection of ancient weapons.
Located in central Vienna, the building contains multiple exhibition spaces across different floors, with guided tours available throughout regular opening hours.
The foundation work required excavation depths of 25 meters due to ancient moats and underground defense structures from previous fortifications.
