Staatsgalerie Neuburg, Art museum in Renaissance castle, Neuburg an der Donau, Germany.
Staatsgalerie Neuburg is an art museum located within the Renaissance castle of Neuburg and displays around 120 paintings from the Flemish Baroque period. The works are exhibited in the castle's historic rooms and come from renowned artists of that era.
The castle was built in 1505 by Count Palatine Ottheinrich as a residence for the Palatinate-Neuburg principality. The museum opened in 2005 and has since presented its Baroque collection within the original castle walls.
The collection features two large side altars created by Peter Paul Rubens for the Court Church of Our Lady in the early 1600s. These works shape how visitors experience the space and reflect the religious art traditions of that era.
The museum is spread across several levels within the castle, so visitors should be prepared for stairs. The rooms are relatively small and intimate, making a leisurely pace ideal for viewing the artwork.
The east wing was expanded with Baroque elements between 1665 and 1670, creating a blend of Renaissance and Baroque architecture within the castle. This combination of different architectural periods shapes the building's appearance even today.
