Schloss Neuenhof, Medieval castle in Lüdenscheid, Germany.
The rectangular two-story castle features distinctive towers with curved roofs and a moat surrounding the main building complex.
The initial structure of Schloss Neuenhof emerged in 1326, underwent reconstruction in 1643, and survived a significant fire in 1693 that led to extensive repairs.
The central gable displays an elaborate carved coat of arms commemorating the marriage between Elisabeth Josina von Neuhoff and Wilhelm Christian von Bottlenberg.
The castle remains privately owned, with specific areas accessible to visitors through scheduled guided tours that explore the architectural heritage.
Archaeological findings near the castle reveal remnants of a 14th-century hammer mill, indicating historical iron production activities on the estate grounds.
