Neu Baumburg Castle, also known as Neu-Bamberg, Neubamberg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle above the municipality of Neu-Bamberg in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The castle was built by the Raugrafen around 1253, mentioned in 1253 as "Novum castrum apud Sarlesheim" and in 1283 was owned by Raugrafen Heinrich II. Von Neuenbaumburg, son of Raugraf Heinrich I.

On April 12, 1338 half of the castle and the village were given to Archbishop Heinrich III by the Raugrafen for 1,300 pounds of Heller. pledged by Mainz and on March 11, 1419, Archbishop Johann II of Mainz and Count Johann V of Sponheim-Starkenburg share the inner castle. In 1668 the castle was destroyed by the Elector Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz.

After 1970, extensive restorations took place with partial walling up of the ruins.

The castle complex consists of an irregularly rectangular core castle in the north-west and the lower outer bailey on the west side. To the east of the core facility is the Catholic Church of St. Dionysius, which partly goes back to the medieval castle chapel.
