Château de la Neuenbourg, Heritage château in Guebwiller, France.

The Château de la Neuenbourg is a symmetrical two-wing baroque building in Guebwiller, with a pale pinkish-grey facade and a dark grey hipped roof. A central projecting pavilion rises above the roofline, topped by a balustrade and three upper windows with alternating triangular and segmental pediments. Below it, a rusticated stone entrance porch contains a dark double door flanked by two oval oculi and two rectangular windows.

A castle built by abbot Konrad Werner von Murnhard in the 14th century was destroyed by Swedish troops on 21 June 1637. From 1715 to 1726 a Baroque residence for the prince-abbots of Murbach rose on the old castle site, planned by Sylvain Golbéry and completed under Peter Thumb. Pillaged in 1789, it passed to the Schlumberger family in 1826, was bought by the Haut-Rhin department in 1950 and has housed a cultural and tourism centre since September 2019.

The château's name, Neuenburg, recalls the medieval castle built on this site by abbot Konrad Werner von Murnhard in the 14th century and destroyed by Swedish troops on 21 June 1637. Since 2019 the building has housed the Centre d'interprétation de l'architecture et du patrimoine (CIAP), devoted to the architecture and local history of the Guebwiller region, alongside the European Institute of Ceramic Arts (IEAC).

The château stands just southeast of the baroque Notre-Dame church in central Guebwiller, and its English-style park is open to the public. The building has housed the Guebwiller region tourist office since 2020, so orientation and current visiting conditions can be checked there. The cultural and tourism centre opened in September 2019.

Inside the castle, the European Institute of Ceramic Arts operates studios and training spaces dedicated to the craft. This living workshop area shows how the region's ceramic tradition continues through contemporary hands-on practice.
