In 1527, Count Palatine Otto Henry initiated a significant transformation of the Neuburg Castle. He ordered the castle to be redesigned into a Renaissance palace, aiming to elevate its artistic quality and status. As a result, the castle became one of the most important palaces in Germany during the first half of the 16th Century.
One of the unique features of the Neuburg Castle is its chapel, which holds the distinction of being the oldest newly built protestant church in the world. The construction of the chapel began in 1537, originally as a catholic court chapel, marking a significant milestone in religious architecture.
Currently, the Neuburg Castle is home to a gallery of baroque paintings, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistic heritage of the period. The museum is under the supervision of the Bavarian State Picture Collection, ensuring the preservation and display of these valuable works of art.
