Neuchatel Castle is one of the high points of a visit to the city Neuchatel (which can be translated in English "new castle"). The castle has various buildings erected around a large courtyard and a smaller one, to the south.
The construction of the nearby Church began at the end of the 12th century and was completed in 1276. From the three main towers, only the south clock tower is ancient, the spire and the north tower being built in 1869.
