Burgruine Neuburg

The fortress remains stand on a hilltop in the Rheintal plain, featuring stone walls, arrow slits, and defensive structures from different construction periods.

First documented in 1152 under Welf family control, the castle changed hands multiple times before its demolition in 1769 after Swedish occupation during the 1640s.

The ruins demonstrate medieval Austrian military architecture through their strategic position, construction techniques, and defensive features like the gatehouse and artillery roundels.

Visitors can access the site during daylight hours and join guided tours to learn about the castle's history and architecture through a detailed scale model.

The castle's water supply relied on an advanced filter cistern system built with stone blocks, showcasing medieval engineering capabilities.
