Neuhaus am Klausenbach Castle

Neuhaus am Klausenbach Castle is a medieval fortress ruin situated on a hilltop above the village. The remaining walls form a pentagonal shape and feature pointed archways and windows typical of the period.

The fortress was built in the 14th century and rebuilt after being destroyed in 1467. The structure then passed to the Batthyány family in 1607, marking a shift in the region's control.

The ruins serve as a local landmark that connects residents and visitors to the region's shared past. The structure remains central to how people understand the area's medieval heritage.

The ruins sit atop a hill above the village and are accessible by following the marked path. Information boards on site provide context about the structure and its role in the region's history.

The ruins sit near the borders of three countries, offering views across into Hungary and Slovenia from the hill. This location made it a strategic outpost for observing and controlling the region's borders.
