Neurathen Castle

The rooms carved into rock, passageways, water storage system, and wooden beam supports remain from the medieval defensive structure near Bastei rocks.

Built during the first half of the 13th century, the castle changed ownership through inheritance and conflicts between Bohemian and Saxon armies until 1485.

The castle ruins demonstrate medieval German architectural methods, revealing how nobility constructed fortifications using natural rock formations and wooden structures.

Visitors can explore the castle remains through marked paths while learning about medieval life from information panels placed throughout the archaeological site.

The castle structure incorporates natural sandstone formations, creating a network of chambers and passages that served as a fortress in Saxon Switzerland.
