Burg Neuenstein, Medieval castle in Saasen, Germany
The Neuenstein Castle features a 28-meter-high tower and stands on an elevated position overlooking the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district in northern Hesse.
Built around 1250 by Albert I of Wallenstein, the castle first appeared in documents in 1267 under the name Neuwallenstein during a property exchange agreement.
The structure represents the architectural evolution from a medieval fortress to an administrative center, reflecting changes in German nobility requirements through centuries.
The castle functions as a conference and event center since 2003, following extensive renovations by the municipality of Neuenstein between 2002 and 2003.
The fortress survived a complete destruction in 1318 ordered by Abbot Simon I of Buchenau to stop highway robbery, and received reconstruction permission in 1357.
