Slevogthof Neukastel

The Slevogthof Neukastel is a mansion from the 19th century that has its roots in a former manor farm, which was once part of the Reichsburg Neukastel. This historical connection adds a layer of depth to the site, making it not just a place of art but also of historical significance.

Max Slevogt and the Slevogthof Neukastel

Max Slevogt, a renowned artist, became artistically active on the Neukastel estate after marrying Antonie “Nini” Finkler, a daughter of the landowner, in 1898. He later bought the property in 1914. This connection to a famous artist adds a significant cultural value to the Slevogthof Neukastel.
