"In 1011, Rudolph III of Burgundy presented a Novum castellum or new castle
(Old French neu, now neuf and Old French châtel, now château) on the lake shore to his wife
Irmengarde. It was long assumed that this new castle replaced an older one, but
nothing about its location or design is known. At the time of this gift
Neuchâtel was probably the center of a newly created royal court, which was
recently developed to complement the other royal estates which managed western
estates of the Kings of Burgundy" (This was the official starting point of the
commune (ville), thus celebrating in 2011 its 1000 years of establishment).

"100 years of
life and bounces It’s in 1011 that the term Novum Castellum appears for the
first time in a donation of a King of Burgundy to his wife; even though this new
castle is called regalissima sedes (royal estate), it probably is
quite modest. The few houses at the foot of the castle that accommodate the
garrison form the embryo of the future city of Neuchâtel."
