Burg Neuhaus bei Stubenberg

Burg Neuhaus bei Stubenberg is a medieval castle ruin perched on a rocky ridge above the Feistritz river gorge, featuring thick stone walls and a fortified tower that defines the surrounding landscape. The estate now contains residential apartments and suites available for visitors exploring the historic structure.

The castle was founded in the mid-14th century by the Stubenberg family as a seat of power and control in the region. Lightning damage around 1800 caused severe structural harm and led to gradual decline until restoration efforts later prevented further deterioration.

The castle reflects the deep connection between the Stubenberg noble family and this region, with the name itself tied to their long rule over the area. Today visitors can walk through the grounds and sense this historic bond that shaped local identity for centuries.

The location is not open for general public tours but can be explored through the available accommodation options on site. Those interested in visiting should contact the estate directly to check availability and make arrangements.

The restoration of the fortified tower makes this site potentially the oldest significant high-rise structure in Styria. The location offers a rare glimpse into medieval construction methods and living conditions from that era.
