The New Castle in Stuttgart, Germany

Let's go and visit Germany this time! I am featuring today the New Castle, known in German as das Neues Schloss. It is located in Schlossplatz (castle square) which is also the central square in Stuttgart, Germany. This historical building has a late Baroque style and served as residence of the kings of Württemberg from 1746 to 1797 and from 1805 to 1807.

The New Castle is also located near the Old Castle which is now used as a museum.

It is some hundred meters from the main train station of Stuttgart. Here is an image we took during our visit last October 2, 2010.
Today the New Castle is used by the State Ministries of Finance and Education.
