The Neudegg ruin stands west of the market town of Pulkau in the village of Theras in the market community of Sigmundsherberg on a wooded cone in the western Pulkautal. In literature, Neudegg also appears as Nonneck, Neunegg, and Neuneck.
An Ortolfus de Nonnekke appears for the first time in a Plainer document in 1183. Around 1220, a Chunradus de Niweneke appears as owner. Around 1390, a Cherssl der Schütze von Rugers appears. Whether there is a connection with the castle of Riegersburg, where an owner with a similar name appears around this time, is unknown. In any case, a Niklas Newnekker makes claims against this Cherssl. Later, a Peter Laher appears as owner, then Neuneck is only referred to as a desolate house.
Of the castle, a ruin with a towering rubble stone wall with a small round arch window is still present. The construction of the castle is assumed to be in the 12th or 13th century.
