The new castle houses part of the Army Museum.

History Since the 13th century, the Old Castle, now known as the Duke's Chest, has served as the residence of the Dukes of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. Duke Ludwig VII, brother of the French Queen Isabella de Bavière, spent more than ten years in France. After returning to his residence in Ingolstadt, he began building a new castle in the southeast of the city around 1430. The area at today's Paradeplatz was already a built-up area at that time. According to a document from 1429, Duke Ludwig VII subsequently had several town houses demolished in preparation for his planned new building. The Old Feldkirchner Gate, through which the city was accessible from the east, was also to be integrated into the new castle, the "New Veste". In 1434, Ludwig VII had a new city gate built a little further north as a replacement. It was only from this point on that the Old Feldkirchner Gate was given to the Duke for his new building.

The New Palace in Ingolstadt is one of the most important secular buildings of the 15th century in Bavaria. The oldest parts of the complex date back to a town castle belonging to Duke Ludwig VII of Bavaria-Ingolstadt in the 1430s. Between around 1470 and 1490, the New Palace was considerably expanded by Duke Ludwig IX of Bavaria-Landshut and his son, Duke George the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut, and converted into a modern residence. The New Palace now houses the Bavarian Army Museum. The complex is registered as a listed architectural monument in Ingolstadt under the file number D-1-61-000-360. It is also listed as an archaeological monument under the file number D-1-7234-0548 in the Bavaria Atlas as “medieval and early modern findings in the area of the New Castle (Neue Veste) and the former Roßmühle”.

Oh yes, that is a sight that makes the heart beat faster

The excavations suggest that there was a larger fortification. Information boards on site provide interesting information about this.
