Neue Residenz, Museum in a former prince-archbishop's palace in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria

The Neue Residenz stands east of Salzburg Cathedral, begun in 1588 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau as an extension of the Alte Residenz. Its wings enclose a northern courtyard finished around 1602 and a later southern courtyard; the tower, set slightly off the facade's centre, carries an octagonal carillon stage added in 1701. The four corners bear the coats of arms of the archbishop's grandparents: Medici, Hohenems, Raitenau and Sirgenstein.

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 carillon in the tower, installed in 1702, plays three times a day; more than 100 pieces are documented, driven by a barrel of 24 brass plates with 7,974 pin holes. The Salzburger Heimatwerk, a shop for local crafts, is housed in the building, which also holds the Salzburg Museum.

The Salzburg Museum in the Neue Residenz is closed for renovation and expansion; the reopening date is announced only once construction is finished. The carillon in the tower still plays three times a day, so the square in front of the building can be visited independently of the museum.

The carillon's 35 bells were cast in 1688–1689 by Melchior de Haze of Antwerp and assembled in 1702 by Salzburg court clockmaker Jeremias Sauter. The mechanism runs on a pinned barrel of 24 brass plates with 7,974 holes that trip the hammers' levers, and it sounds three times a day.
