New Castle (Stuttgart)

New Castle (Stuttgart)

The New Castle (das Neue Schloss) is a building in Stuttgart, Germany which stands on the south edge of the central square (Schlossplatz). The castle is built in late Baroque style.

From 1746 to 1797 and from 1805 to 1807, it served as residence of the kings of Württemberg. The castle, which is more of a palace, stands adjacent to the Old Castle.

The castle was almost completely destroyed by Allied bombing during the Second World War and was reconstructed between 1958 and 1964. During this time most of the inside of the castle was also restored and the building was used by the Baden-Württemberg State Parliament. Today it is used by the State Ministries of Finance and Education. Public tours of the building are only permitted by special arrangement.

Schlossplatz stands next to two other popular squares in Stuttgart: Karlspatz to the south and Schillerplatz to the south west.
