Burg Neidstein, Medieval castle ruin in Etzelwang, Germany
The stone ruins of Burg Neidstein stand on a hill, featuring remnants of defensive walls, an east gate, and a round tower in the west.
From 1466 to 2006, Burg Neidstein belonged to the Brandt family before being sold to actor Nicolas Cage, who later transferred it to an Amberg lawyer.
The castle walls contain 17th-century religious reliefs carved by Georg Schweiger, depicting scenes from the Old Testament with German craftsmanship.
The castle now functions as a conference center for the Fraunhofer Society, offering modern facilities within its historical structure.
The castle archives, dating from the 16th century, reveal that French troops once used part of the building to house their horses in 1796.
