Schloss Bauschlott, Castle in Neulingen, Germany
Schloss Bauschlott is a classical country palace in Bauschlott, part of Neulingen in the Enzkreis. Grand Duke Karl Friedrich had the dilapidated old moated castle demolished, and Friedrich Weinbrenner rebuilt the main building on the old foundations by 1804, completing the whole complex in 1809. Two connecting wings link it to the older Marstall and the Cavaliersbau of 1764, and Weinbrenner designed the Belvedere in 1807.
Eglof von Wallstein built a four-towered moated castle between 1532 and 1540; his heirs sold it to Margrave Georg Friedrich in 1604 for 16,000 guilders. After 1726 it belonged to Baden-Durlach, and from 1795 Friedrich Weinbrenner rebuilt the main structure on the old foundations, completing it in 1809. The moat was drained in 1770 and the drawbridge removed.
The castle houses an art museum with around 300 works that reflect regional artistic traditions. Visitors can explore the area's creative history through rotating exhibitions.
The castle stands in Bauschlott, part of Neulingen in the Enzkreis, with the main building set back from the road and linked to the older Marstall and Cavaliersbau by two connecting wings. The grounds were laid out from 1806, and Weinbrenner designed the Belvedere in 1807. The complex passed into private ownership in 1961, so the buildings are not open to visitors as a museum.
From 1961 to 2004, the Buslat artists' association held numerous exhibitions and concerts on the castle grounds. This active artistic period helped establish its current role as a regional cultural hub.
