The castle houses the district court. However, a stroll along the castle through the park is still very worthwhile.

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 cycle path leads directly past Kargo Castle. There is a circular path around the fence around the castle.

The Count Palatine Castle on Residenzplatz is reminiscent of the magnificent times of courtly life in the old residence city. In 1410, Count Palatine Johann inherited most of the Upper Palatinate, chose Neumarkt as his residence and began building a palace in the same year. The Palatine Castle, which was finally completed in 1443, was destroyed by fire in 1520. At that time, Count Palatine Friedrich II resided over Neumarkt. His reign once again brought courtly splendor to the city. After his marriage to Dorothea, a niece of Emperor Karl, the court was enlarged and the Count Palatine had the new Renaissance palace built for his sweetheart. Together with the simultaneous construction of the armory and the court church, the representative new center of the residential city was created on the court plan. Today's use of the castle as a district court may seem a bit mundane, but once a year, in the summer months, a festive atmosphere returns to the castle courtyard with the open-air performances of the "Neumarkter Schlossspiele". However, extensive renovations are currently underway. https://www.tourismus-neumarkt.de/Seeing values/neumarkter_residenz-ehem_pfalz-10267/

The Count Palatine Castle Neumarkt, also known as the Neumarkt Residence, forms the center of the castle district in the old town of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz (together with the Hofkirche and the Reitstadel) and today houses the district court of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. It was built in its current form by Count Palatine Friedrich II in the mid-16th century. It is listed as a monument under file number D-3-73-147-45. The facility is also part of the ground monument with the file number D-3-6734-0087 and the description "archaeological findings from the Middle Ages and the early modern period in the area of the former castle and the Catholic court church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Neumarkt i.d. Opf., including the traces of previous buildings or older construction phases”. Source: Wikipedia
