The water castle Neuhaus (from Crailsheimsches lock) goes in its present appearance largely back to the beginning of the 17th century; but you can also find much older buildings (tower, chapel). The site was protected by ponds and ditches and by a drawbridge. The castle is still private property of the family of Crailsheim and can not be visited.

Visible from afar, Neuhaus Castle greets travelers or hikers. It is enchanted between the ponds of the village of the same name. Today's Renaissance building is the successor to an older complex dating back to the Middle Ages. The hump blocks in the section of the tower, which stands on even older masonry, point to the 11th to 13th centuries.
Already in the Hessberg period 1509 there was a castle in Neuhaus protected by moats and ponds. In 1528 the late Gothic chapel and tower stood, the latter without the hood put on a hundred years later.
Johann Philipp v. Crailsheim rebuilt the castle in 1612-1618. At that time there was a drawbridge on the entrance side. Neuhaus was considered a "permanent place" and also survived the Thirty Years' War. It not only provided security for people and cattle, but also served as a prison.
In 1796 the castle was looted by the French. In 1832 it was uninhabitable. Baron Sigmund v. Crailsheim had it restored in 1902. In the same year, the outer ward was destroyed by arson, in whose place a forester's house was built.

This clock looks like a chapel, but inside there is only the clock mechanism.
