Court Church of Our Lady, Neuburg on the Danube
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1618 the new church was consecrated to Mary by four bishops, with the name: To Our Lady. Three altars were erected with the altar leaves of the most famous painter at the time, Peter Paul Rubens from Antwerp.
The largest picture by Rubens, the Great Last Judgment on the high altar, is now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, and a copy has recently also been made in the right side entrance of the Hofkirche. The other two pictures can be seen in the Flemish Gallery in Neuburg Castle.
The Jesuit Church, court church since 1782, has a small crypt in which seven members of the Wittelsbach family are buried. A large but inaccessible crypt is located under the rear half of the sacred building. Almost 50 Jesuit Fathers rest in it.

A very beautiful and richly decorated church with lots of stucco work. The church is accessible at all times and also houses an annual nativity scene. Due to its building history and furnishings, the Hofkirche Neuburg is one of the most important sacred buildings in southern Germany.

Neuburg Castle on the Danube
Highlight • Castle
When Count Palatine Ottheinrich and his brother took over the rule of Pfalz-Neuburg in 1522, he found a medieval castle complex in his residence town of Neuburg, which, unlike other princely residences of comparable function, was structurally not as good as in the last decades of the 15th century had been adapted to the growing demands of a princely court. From 1527 he had the castle redesigned and expanded into a Renaissance castle, which in terms of artistic quality and state of preservation is one of the most important castle buildings of the first half of the 16th century in Germany.
