Neue Residenz, Museum and public building in Altstadt, Austria
The Neue Residenz is a large building at Mozartplatz 1 in Salzburg's old town, featuring two spacious interior courtyards and multiple wings arranged around them. The structure spans several stories and contains numerous rooms designed for display and cultural use.
Construction began in 1588 when Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau ordered it built after demolishing houses that stood on the site. The work continued over many decades, establishing it as a principal seat of power in Salzburg.
The building has long served as a repository for the region's art and historical collections. Visitors could explore works and objects that shaped local identity over centuries.
The building is currently undergoing major renovation and expansion work and is not open to visitors. A reopening date will be announced once the construction phase is completed.
The tower houses a bell carillon installed in 1702 that can play more than 100 different melodies throughout the day. This musical sound rings across much of the city and forms part of Salzburg's daily soundscape.
