Neue Residenz, Renaissance palace in Halle, Germany.
The Neue Residenz features four connected wings with a central courtyard, displaying early German Renaissance architectural elements in its stone facades and arched windows.
Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg initiated the construction of this residence in 1531, establishing it as a center of ecclesiastical power north of the Alps.
The residence transformed into an opera venue during the 17th century under Duke August of Saxony-Weißenfels, marking the beginning of early Baroque performances in Germany.
Visitors can access the Neue Residenz by taking tram lines 2, 5, or 10 to the Hallmarkt stop, with parking available at the Händelhaus-Karree garage.
The courtyard transforms into a themed garden each year during the Handel Festival, featuring designs created by local workforce development program participants.
