Schloss Neuhof an der Zenn, Castle in Neuhof an der Zenn, Germany

Schloss Neuhof an der Zenn is a complex of four two-storey wings with gabled roofs, grouped around a courtyard in Middle Franconia. At the corners the wings rise into three-storey towers capped with pyramid roofs, and a further pyramid-roofed tower stands at the middle of three of the wings. The upper floors facing the courtyard carry a gallery with a baluster parapet.

The complex was expanded in 1570/73 as the provostry belonging to the Kastenamt Neuhof, on the site of an earlier building. It consists of four two-storey wings with gabled roofs, grouped around a courtyard, with three-storey towers under pyramid roofs at the corners and a further pyramid-roofed tower in the middle of three wings. The upper floors facing the courtyard have a gallery with a baluster parapet.

The complex served as a provostry (Propstei) belonging to the Kastenamt Neuhof before its expansion in 1570/73. The galleries with baluster balustrades facing the courtyard are the feature a visitor can still pick out on the upper floors of the wings.

The castle is located at Schlossstraße 14 and can be viewed from the outside, with the central courtyard providing a good overview of the architecture. Visitors should plan the best time for photography in daylight and check local viewing conditions before visiting.

The complex began as the provostry of the Neuhof district administrative office (Kastenamt) and was expanded in 1570/73. Its four two-storey wings rise at the corners into three-storey towers capped with pyramid roofs, and a further pyramid-roofed tower stands at the centre of three of the wings. The upper floors facing the courtyard open onto a gallery whose parapet is made of balusters.
