Schloss Neuhaus am Inn, Medieval castle in Neuhaus am Inn, Germany.
Schloss Neuhaus am Inn is a three-storey castle on a rock directly on the Inn bank at the Austrian border. Its side wings carry two curved gables, and an alliance coat of arms on the facade recalls the Counts of Taufkirchen. A neo-baroque church built in 1902/03 by Johann Baptist Schott and the builder Capellaro links the old building with a later extension. Since 2011 the Realschule has used the whole complex.
The castle was founded in the 14th century by Bavarian dukes as a stronghold along the river boundary. A major transformation in the mid-18th century introduced Rococo elements that continue to shape its appearance today.
The castle chapel, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was formerly the castle's own chapel and is now a Catholic Expositurkirche. The neo-Baroque church built by Johann Baptist Schott and the builder Capellaro in 1902/03 linked the old building with the extension and served as the parish church until 1974. An alliance coat of arms on the facade recalls the Counts of Taufkirchen.
The castle now operates as a school, so visiting is limited to specific times and guided tours. Getting in touch with the local tourism office is the best way to learn about current visiting options.
The Institut der Englischen Fräulein von Burghausen bought the castle in 1859 from Princess Auguste von Auersperg for 9,000 gulden. The purchase price and seller are recorded in the sources; the sources do not say the institute opened a school in the building.
