The New Palace in Stuttgart was built for Duke Charles Eugene of Württemberg, with the cornerstone laid on September 3, 1746. The article names Nikolaus Friedrich Thouret as the original commission, Leopoldo Retti as first build master, then Philippe de La Guêpière, and Reinhard Heinrich Ferdinand Fischer also contributed. The style is Baroque.
The infobox gives completion in 1807, but the text gives no single date. It mentions the City Wing in 1789, the Garden Wing in 1791 and a palace nearing completion in 1806. The infobox says demolished in 1944, but the text says bombing left only the facade standing.
Reconstruction began in 1958, after the Landtag approved it by one vote in 1957. Ministries have occupied it since. The infobox lists Finance and Economy, and the text lists Finance and Education. Public guided tours are now offered. The article gives no hours.
