State Library Neuburg

The early Rococo building, which was built in 1731/32 according to plans by Franz Moritz von Loew, has housed the provincial library on the upper floor since 1803 with a magnificent baroque cabinet that comes from the former Imperial Monastery of Kaisheim.

In the course of secularization, numerous provincial libraries were set up in Bavaria, which were supposed to take up the books of the dissolved monasteries and make them accessible to the public. Elector Max IV Joseph founded the Neuburg Provincial Library as the central library for schools and administration in the region and set it up in the building of the former Catholic Congregation.
