    Margrave Albrecht Achilles had the "old castle" in Neustadt a.d.Aisch built as a hunting castle in 1448, protected by a moat. Access is only possible via the drawbridge. The hexagonal stair tower is only added to the castle later.

    Anna von Sachsen, the wife of Albrecht Achilles, uses the castle as a widow's residence. Even after that, it served as a residence for members of the margravial family until 1626. After the completion of the New Palace in 1626, the respective provincial governors used it as an apartment.

    Today the margrave museum and the Aischgründer carp museum as well as the children's play worlds are housed on the castle grounds. (Source: hohenzollern-orte.de/poi/altes_schloss-22169, 2021)
