Burg Neuhaus, Medieval castle in Windischeschenbach, Germany.

The castle features a prominent tower called Butterfaßturm and stands as a testament to medieval defensive architecture in northern Bavaria.

Constructed around 1300 by Ulrich I von Leuchtenberg, the castle initially served as a fortified hunting lodge before being sold to Kloster Waldsassen in 1515.

The Waldnaabtal-Museum, established within the castle in 1985, presents exhibitions about the natural and economic history of the Waldnaab Valley.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds, examine the medieval fortifications, and participate in guided tours that explain the defensive systems of the period.

The castle remains exceptionally intact as it has never suffered damage from fires or wars throughout its seven centuries of existence.
