Neues Schloss, Schlossplatz 2, Althofen, Medieval castle in Althofen, Austria.

The Neues Schloss is a castle with two separate buildings at squares 1 and 2, with a southern facade displaying eight axes. The structures maintain consistent eaves and ridge lines throughout, while both parts are protected as historical monuments today.

The castle was built in the 13th century and underwent major reconstruction around 1500 under Leonhard von Keutschach after being destroyed during the Hungarian War. This rebuilding shaped the current form of the structure.

The name "Neues Schloss" covers both houses at Schlossplatz 1 and 2, used for the pair and for each building alone. House No. 2 keeps a late Gothic hall with a stucco vault, and a window with late Gothic stone frame is dated 1772. The two halves were sold to separate owners in the second half of the 20th century.

The site consists of two separate buildings under different ownership, so it is advisable to check beforehand which parts are open to visitors. The two structures sit side by side on the castle square and are easy to locate.

In the ground-floor hall of Schlossplatz 1, the 15th- or 16th-century vault springs from wall pillars, and its ribs cross and interlace into net-like figures at the crown of the ceiling. The south-west ground-floor room keeps a barrel vault with lunettes resting on flat, console-like wall projections, dated to the 16th or 17th century.
