Burg Neuhaus, Medieval castle in Igersheim, Germany.

Burg Neuhaus is a stone castle situated on a mountain ridge at approximately 329 meters elevation near Igersheim in Baden-Württemberg. The core ruins remain open to visitors and show the medieval construction and defensive design typical of castles in this region.

The castle was built in the 13th century and came under the control of the Bishopric of Würzburg in 1320 as part of the Deutschordensamt Neuhaus administration. This administrative arrangement shaped the fortress and its strategic importance for centuries.

Medieval markets were once held at the castle, but after a fatal accident the owner decided to discontinue them. Today a medieval group uses the site as a meeting point for training in staged and free combat. The former outer bailey (Vorburg) long served for Trakehner horse breeding and now houses a horse boarding stable.

Only the core castle ruin is freely accessible; the former outer bailey (Vorburg) is leased and now used as a horse boarding stable, so visitors should keep to the ruin itself. The site lies on a spur about 329 metres above sea level above the Taubertal near the Staatsdomäne Neuhaus, surrounded by the "Neuhaus" nature reserve. Sturdy footwear helps on the uneven ruin ground.

The castle was long notorious as a prison and torture castle, but the sources give no witch trials; that detail is invented. Since 1792 the complex was gradually demolished, and after the Teutonic Order was dissolved under Napoleon it passed to the Kingdom of Württemberg and was run by the royal Rentamt.
