Castle Neudahn, Rock castle in Dahn, Germany.
Castle Neudahn stands on sandstone rock outcrops at the northern end of a ridge, positioned 90 meters above the Lauter River valley floor.
The construction of Castle Neudahn began in 1240 under the direction of the Bishop of Speyer, who granted it as a heritable fief to Henry of Dahn.
The castle belongs to the Dahner Burgengruppe, a collection of three rock fortresses that demonstrate medieval architectural development in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The castle ruins remain open year-round, with multiple hiking trails providing access to the site, including the Castle Neudahn Trip and Circular Hiking Trail.
The castle features a distinctive double battery tower from the 16th century and an isolated cuneiform bastion that showcases innovative medieval defensive engineering.
