Schloss Neu-Richmond stands in Braunschweig (Braunschweig), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Schloss Neu-Richmond no longer exists today. This neo-Gothic ensemble, built south of Braunschweig in the early 19th century to plans by Carl Theodor Ottmer for Duke Wilhelm of Brunswick, comprised a ducal villa, a pavilion known as the Kavalierhaus, and a walled park. Abandoned after 1848, it was demolished in stages between 1901 and 1906, and the site is now occupied by the Braunschweig-Kolleg. Only the ground of the former park, with no surviving structures or paths, still carries heritage protection.

What to know

The former park grounds, now occupied by the Braunschweig-Kolleg, retain no paths or visible structures.
There are no plans to rebuild or restore the site.
Heritage protection applies to the land of the former park, not to any standing remains.
