Burg Neuhaus, Medieval castle in Windischeschenbach, Germany.

Burg Neuhaus is a medieval castle in Windischeschenbach in Upper Palatinate and is characterized by its distinctive Butterfaßturm tower. The structure displays typical features of medieval fortification architecture with preserved walls and defensive elements.

The castle was founded around 1300 by Ulrich I von Leuchtenberg and initially served as a fortified hunting lodge. In 1515 it passed to the ownership of Kloster Waldsassen, where it remained under monastic management.

The Waldnaabtal-Museum housed within the castle since 1985 displays exhibitions about the natural and economic history of the Waldnaab Valley. The collections give insight into how people in this region lived and worked over time.

The castle can be reached by hiking trails or car and sits in an accessible location above the village. Guided tours provide explanations about the architecture and history, while visitors can also freely explore the outdoor areas.

The castle is not a classic knight's seat but a fortified hunting lodge, built around 1300 by Landgrave Ulrich I of Leuchtenberg. Its free-standing Butterfassturm, whose massive base and narrow upper section resemble a butter churn, now houses the Waldnaabtal Museum, opened there in 1985.
