Neuhaus Castle

Today's Renaissance building is the successor to an older complex dating back to the Middle Ages. The bossage in the lower section of the tower, which stands on even older masonry, points to the 11th to 13th centuries.

Already during the Heßberg era in 1509, there was a castle complex in Neuhaus protected by moats and ponds. In 1528, the late Gothic house chapel and the tower stood, the latter without the dome added a hundred years later.

Johann Philipp v. Crailsheim rebuilt the castle between 1612 and 1618. At the entrance side, there was a drawbridge at that time. Neuhaus was considered a "fortified place" and also survived the Thirty Years' War. It not only offered security for people and livestock but also served as a prison.

In 1796, the castle was plundered by the French. In 1832, it was uninhabitable. Baron Sigmund v. Crailsheim had it restored in 1902. In the same year, the outer bailey was destroyed by arson. A forester's house was built in its place.
