Neumarkt's landmark, visible from afar, towers 150 meters above the city. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1283, but the complex is certainly much older. The castle area had fallen into disrepair since the beginning of the 17th century, and excavations and renovation work began in 1997 by the Wolfsteinfreunde Neumarkt association.

The castle is open from 01.04. until 10/30 open and freely accessible. In the summer months, the Wolfstein friends offer guided tours on Sundays, when the 22 meter high keep can also be entered. From the castle ruins you have a wonderful panoramic view over Neumarkt and the surrounding area.

Great castle complex, with a mighty keep. Even from afar, it draws attention.
