Neuhausen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Guryevsky, Russia.
Neuhausen Castle is a stone fortress ruin with remaining walls and foundations located on elevated ground in Guryevsky, Kaliningrad. The structure sits among modern residential buildings and retains visible architectural features despite significant deterioration.
The castle was first recorded in 1292 as a fortification commissioned by Bishop Christian von Mühlhausen to defend against invaders. After 1525 it came under the ownership of Albrecht Hohenzollern and underwent transformations from its original military purpose.
The structure evolved from a fortified stronghold to a hunters manor, reflecting the changing needs of nobility through different periods of ownership.
The site is located along Avangardnaya Street in Guryevsky and sits within a residential area that shapes how visitors can approach it. The ruins remain visible from public spaces, though visitors should be careful due to the deteriorated state of the remaining structures.
A medieval mill connected to the castle operated continuously for over 600 years until 1945. This extended functional history reveals how the complex adapted to changing times long after its original military role had ended.
