Schloss Neuhaus, Hillside castle in Salzburg, Austria
Schloss Neuhaus is a hilltop fortress on Mount Küberg in Salzburg, sitting at around 500 meters elevation. Its medieval keep forms the core structure, with neo-Gothic additions made during later renovations.
The first recorded mention dates to 1219 under Konrad von Neuhaus, marking its early establishment. By 1424, Prince Archbishop Eberhard III. commissioned significant expansions of the fortress.
The name Neuhaus comes from Chunradus de nova domo, Konrad von Neuhaus, first recorded in 1219. Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, born Countess Dubsky, was a frequent guest after her half-brother Adolf Graf Dubsky bought the castle. The painter Ante Topić Mimara acquired it in 1963 and used its gallery for contemporary art.
Schloss Neuhaus is a private residence owned by German industrialist Hubertus Benteler and is not open to the public; the earlier gallery under Ante Topić Mimara, who bought it in 1963, no longer operates. The building stands on the Kühberg in the Gnigl district, about 2.5 km east of Salzburg's centre, and is visible from the Neuhauserstraße. View it from outside only.
The castle's medieval keep survived centuries of modifications and remains largely intact today. This original core makes it a rare example of preserved fortress architecture in the region.
