Schloss Neuwied, Cultural heritage château in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The Neuwied Castle features 18 axial elements along its primary facade and two axes on its gabled sides, spanning 80 meters in length.

Graf Friedrich III zu Wied initiated the construction of this baroque castle near the Rhine River in 1645, before the establishment of Neuwied city.

The castle transformed over centuries from a noble residence to a military hospital, poor house, spinning mill, and later accommodated a paint manufacturing facility.

The structure underwent extensive modifications through time, with stones sourced from nearby quarries contributing to its architectural composition.

In 1663, local farmers were mandated to perform annual labor at the castle, leading to folklore about a curse placed upon the building.
