Neufahrn Castle, Medieval castle in Neufahrn in Niederbayern, Germany.

Neufahrn Castle is a two-storey four-wing complex built in the 16th century on a medieval ground plan around an inner courtyard, surrounded by a former moat. The north side of the courtyard has two-storey arcades; at the southwest corner stands a five-storey tower stump, and at the southeast corner a round tower with a domed cupola houses the former castle chapel. A square tower and an onion-domed tower survive from the earlier ensemble. Since 1988 restoration work has converted the castle into a hotel.

Neufahrn is first documented in 1123, when Ernst von Kirchberg gave the estate to Mallersdorf Abbey. The Kraus family had the castle rebuilt as a Renaissance residence between 1510 and 1558. Swedish troops plundered and partly destroyed it in 1633, and the Haunsperg family rebuilt it in the mid-17th century. In 1988 the Thurn und Taxis family sold it to the Beer family, who restored it as a hotel.

Since 1988 the restored castle has housed a hotel, and its Schlossfest Neufahrn, a medieval festival held in high summer, draws visitors to the courtyard. The name Neufahrn comes from the old estate name Newfar, recorded in 1123. The south-east round tower with its domed cupola holds the former castle chapel.

The castle at Schloßweg 2 now operates as a hotel, so visits centre on the building and its courtyard rather than an open dig. The four-wing complex surrounds an inner courtyard with double-storey arcades on the north side; look for the five-storey tower stump at the southwest corner and the domed round tower at the southeast corner, which holds the former castle chapel.

The castle's south-east round tower with its domed roof houses the former castle chapel. Since 1988 the restored complex has operated as a hotel, and the Schlossfest Neufahrn, a medieval festival held in high summer, takes place here each year.
