Burg Arnshaugk, Medieval castle ruins in Neustadt an der Orla, Germany
The castle sits on a ridge in the southwest of Neustadt an der Orla, with remaining structures including outbuildings and a chapel from the late 11th century.
Built in the first quarter of the 13th century by the Lords of Lobdeburg, the castle changed ownership to the Wettin Counts in 1289 and later to other noble families.
The castle chapel, gifted to the Augustine Hermit Monastery in 1294 by Landgrave Albrecht and Elisabeth, now functions as a concert venue for musical performances.
The castle site contains preserved outbuildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, with dendrochronological studies confirming construction dates of 1517, 1592, and 1615.
The main tower of the castle collapsed in 1836, and the surrounding moat was subsequently filled, leaving a rubble hill as evidence of the former keep.
