The Neue Schloss Beihingen , also called Breitenbachsches Schloss , is a castle in Freiberg am Neckar in the Ludwigsburg district in Baden-Württemberg . It consists of the actual castle building as well as a tithe barn and a reik barn , which are connected to each other by walls.

The castle was built in 1573 for Friedrich Schertlin von Breitenbach, the son-in-law of Ludwig von Freiberg . In the following years a tithe barn (1591) and a Reikenscheuer (around 1600) were built on the castle. An approximately one hectare garden also belonged to the site. Over the years, the castle changed hands several times until it was finally bought by the lords of Gemmingen-Hornberg in 1673 . At the end of the 19th century, the original chimney above the western Söller was removed. Today the castle is the seat of the von Graevenitz family .
