Neuburg an der Donau: Hofkirche, Historischer Karlsplatz
Neuburg an der Donau lies along the Danube, its compact old town standing on the Jurassic uplands above the river and its broad floodplain. The former residence town was the capital of the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg from 1505 to 1808, a role that gave its centre a formal Renaissance and Baroque character. Neuburg Castle, rebuilt in Renaissance forms for Count Palatine Ottheinrich in the 16th century, anchors the upper town. The Hofkirche belongs to the ducal ensemble, while steep lanes descend towards the Danube. Red-tiled roofs, burgher houses and the riverbank closely connect the historic core with the surrounding Bavarian countryside.

Neuburg an der Donau occupies a high bank above the Danube in Bavaria, where the river forms the town’s southern edge. Its compact upper town is distinguished by Renaissance façades and the ducal Neuburg Castle, once the residence of the rulers of Palatinate-Neuburg. The castle’s courtyard and ceremonial rooms recall the era when Neuburg served as the seat of this Wittelsbach principality. Below the old town, the Danube connects the community with the broad river landscapes of southern Germany, while local life gathers around Karlsplatz.
