de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Neuberk

The castle Neuberg is eponymous for the family von Neuberg. It is first mentioned in documents in 1288. Due to the raids of local nobles against the imperial city of Eger, Charles IV destroyed the castle, which was rebuilt shortly thereafter, whereupon the raids continued. In the year 1327 the Neuberger transferred the Bohemian king Johann their empire-free property and received him back as a fief. The property was transferred in 1392 to the family of Zedtwitz. After the Thirty Years' War, the castle remained uninhabited and decayed. Main preserved is the keep, which rises on a rock massif above the village. Basement vaults were rebuilt in the Second World War to air raid shelter. In the immediate vicinity is the ruins of the 1902 burned down upper part of the castle (Horní zámek), are obtained from the extensive remains of the wall. The Lower Castle (Dolní zámek) was abandoned during the Czechoslovak era.

Interesting old castle complex with restaurant! From the ruins access via a dirt road to the ring road Bad Elster!

The exact dates of the creation of the castle are in the dark. It was probably built on a mountain spur by the knights of Neiperg (Neuburg) at the beginning of the 13th century. Her name has been preserved for the castle until today.
The first documentary mention of Neuberg Castle dates from 1288. The estate was transferred to the bailiffs of Plauen as a fief by King Rudolf I. Although he came from the Habsburg family, he continued the tradition of the Staufer and used the bailiffs to secure the territory. It is therefore part of the Vögte's cultural path.
