Neuhaus Castle Ruins Neuhaus was first documented in 1254 as the property of "Otto de novo castro." He likely descended from the Sattelbogen family, whose ancestral castle was located a few kilometers east of the town; today, it is only documented as a castle ruin. The name "Neuhaus" itself indicates the status of a later-founded "branch." Originally, the Sattelbogers were ministeriales of the Counts of Bogen, then of the Bavarian dukes. Especially in the 14th century, the family spread to many surrounding castles, including Lichteneck, Zandt, and Thierlstein. Milot and Jakob "von dem Newnhaus" provide evidence for Friedrich Sattelboger in 1320. Friedrich was an influential ministeriale of the Bavarian dukes and guardian of Cham. By 1351, Konrad Sattelboger was the owner of Neuhaus. In 1373, part of the castle passed to Seitz Buchberger, and in 1481 to the Hohenstaufen von Ehrenfels, who administered the castle as a Bavarian Hofmark. In 1573, the Sattelbogen family died out, and the owners of Neuhaus changed frequently during this time. The castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and never rebuilt. In 1829, it was acquired by the House of Thurn and Taxis, now privately owned. All that remains of the medieval castle are the outer walls of the tower-like palace, parts of the rampart, and the moat walls. The palace windows on the second floor have seating niches, making it likely that they were built in the late Middle Ages. To the north, parts of buildings can still be identified today. Based on Apian's depiction, two main buildings with a courtyard between them can be assumed. The ruins lie on a hill, at the foot of which a second circular wall with semicircular towers and a circular moat were built, something probably unique in Bavaria. The moat could have been flooded by a stream. A half-covered, round tower with a wall thickness of 1.5 m stands outside the main castle at the foot of the hill in the moat wall. It is unclear whether it can be considered a keep or—more likely—a later added wall tower. The many modern additions detract from the overall appearance. Source: Excerpts from www.burgenseite.de
