Schloss Leonberg, Heritage monument and park in Maxhütte-Haidhof, Germany

The Neues Schloss stands as a three-story neo-baroque palace with a mezzanine level, featuring richly structured facades and decorative architectural elements throughout the building.

Heinrich Graf von der Mühle-Eckart commissioned the construction of this palace between 1885 and 1890 after the previous single-story structure burned down at this location.

The palace grounds include a garden separated from St. Leonhard Church by tall masonry columns and iron gratings, reflecting traditional Bavarian architectural design principles.

The palace remains a private residence of the von der Mühle-Eckart family and Baron Maximilian von Wiedersperg, with no public access to the interior spaces.

General George S. Patton, commander of the Third Army, established his quarters in Schloss Leonberg for several weeks starting April 23, 1945.
