In the New Castle, among other things, the "Gartenlust" takes place every year in the castle garden. Everything to do with the garden is offered there. For the physical well-being is also well taken care of. The New Palace can be visited without a guided tour. Guided tours take place every half hour in the Italian castle.

"Ce maudit château!" - "This cursed castle!" is what Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have said in horror after he spent the night of May 15-16, 1812 in the New Palace. The ghost of the "White Lady of Himmelkron" had appeared to him there. It is also possible that the castellan had played a joke on the Emperor of the French. Relevant items such as chains, rattles and a white robe were later found in his estate.

Although the old castle was an imposing building from the 17th century, it no longer met the increased demands of the baroque court. Its destruction by fire in January 1753 accelerated the decision to erect a new building. The New Palace was built under Margrave Friedrich von Brandenburg-Bayreuth from 1753 onwards. As in the Old Hermitage Palace, his wife Wilhelmine had a great influence on the design of the rooms.
