Schloss Neckarhausen, Classical castle in Edingen-Neckarhausen, Germany

Schloss Neckarhausen is a classical castle in Edingen-Neckarhausen with a two-story central building connected to side pavilions through terraces. Cannonballs are embedded in its facade, evidence of conflicts that occurred there during the 1800s.

Around 1614 a Thurn and Taxis post station opened on the site, serving the new postal route between Rheinhausen near Speyer and Frankfurt; Mannheim joined in 1667 with a twice-weekly courier, and the station moved to Mannheim in 1699. In 1746 Johann Georg von Susmann, heir of Johann Michael Susmann, built a Baroque mansion here to reflect his rank as vice-chancellor at the Electoral Palatinate court. The property passed to Franz Albert von Oberndorff in 1777, was damaged in 1784 and repaired, and was remodelled in classical form by Jacob Friedrich Dyckerhoff in 1824–1825.

The name derives from the nearby Neckar River, around which the site has developed over centuries. Visitors experience it as a place where historical architecture and contemporary community activities coexist in the same spaces.

The castle houses municipal offices, a public library, and a music school, allowing visitors to explore different working areas. These functions make it accessible to walk through without needing special tour arrangements, and you can experience how spaces are used in daily life.

The park's ice cellar kept blocks cut from the frozen Neckar cool through summer. The former orangery was converted into a chapel in the early 20th century and renovated in 2008 as an event space.
