Neuburg Castle is an impressive historic building perched on a cliff that slopes steeply down to the Neckar River. Originally built in the 14th century, it has a rich history. The castle has been rebuilt several times over the centuries and served as a residence for various noble families. In the 19th century, it was restored in the Romantic style and acquired its present appearance. Today, Neuburg Castle houses a hotel and restaurant that delights visitors with its unique atmosphere and the charm of bygone times.

Not much to see anymore

The Minneburg is an impressive castle ruin in the Neckar Valley, near Neckargerach. It sits atop a wooded hillside and offers a fantastic view over the Neckar Valley. The castle was probably built in the 12th century and reached its heyday in the 16th century, when it was remodeled in the Renaissance style. The legend surrounding the Minneburg is particularly fascinating: The name is said to originate from Minna von Horneck, who sought refuge here out of love for a knight.

Only sad 😢 remains of the wall can be found here. In Wikipedia you can find the following: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emichsburg_(Odenwald)

Was here on Saturday morning - everything was still locked. Since I had only just started there, I didn't really feel the need to stop off.

Opposite Neckargerach, the Minneburg rises on a wooded hillside in the Neckarkatzenbach municipal forest above the Guttenbach district. It is considered the landmark of Neckargerach. It owes its current form mainly to the expansion in the first half of the 16th century. Today it is a mighty ruin and a popular destination, especially since you have a beautiful view of the Neckar valley and there are also two barbecue areas in the area, which invite you to linger for a while. According to legend, the name of the castle goes back to Minna von Horneck, a damsel at Hornberg Castle. Before her marriage to the Count of Schwarzenberg, who lived at Dilsberg Castle, she is said to have taken refuge here in a cave. She secretly loved the poor knight Edelmut von Ehrenberg and hoped for his return from a crusade. When he finally returned from the Holy Land, it was too late: Minna was dying. At the death camp he is said to have vowed to build a castle and to commemorate her great love (Middle High German: Minne) named it Minneburg.

Prince Karl von Leiningen built a small hunting lodge here in 1828 - and named it after the "Emichsburg" near Bockenheim in the Palatinate. In 1830 the palace was given a tower-like structure and received its castle-like appearance. The "Emichsburg" was no longer inhabited as early as 1840 and was demolished from 1844. All that remains of the wall is the stump of the tower. The hunting lodge and shed later erected on the foundation walls of the property have also fallen into disrepair - a "ruin within a ruin", so to speak.
