    Neuhaus Castle is a spur castle in the Neuhaus town of the same name. A striking feature of the castle is the free-standing so-called butter churn tower, which is reminiscent of a butter churn due to its massive substructure and narrow upper structure. Butter churn towers are not flattened at the top, but support a second, smaller tower with a smaller diameter. A rarity among the many castles in the Upper Palatinate!

      Built on a steep rock above the valley of the Waldnaab, the castle was built around 1300 by Landgrave Ulrich I von Leuchtenberg as a hunting lodge. The peculiarity of the largely preserved castle complex is the 23 meter high, mountable castle keep, the "Butterfassturm". From there, the visitor has a magnificent view far into the Oberpfälzer landscape.
