Nice area, unfortunately the tower is only possible on Sundays and public holidays. The relatively free-standing so-called butter barrel tower of Neuhaus Castle is really worth seeing. Due to the construction with a massive substructure and narrow superstructure, it is reminiscent of a butter churn and probably even had a third structure in the past.

After repeatedly pledging it to the Waldsassen monastery, it was finally sold to the monastery in 1515. After secularization, the castle became private property in 1803. In 1820 the market town of Neuhaus acquired the facility.
