The Neuhaus Castle is the ruin of a Spur castle on a rocky spur at around 329 meters above sea level above the Tauber Valley in today's living space Staatsdomäne Neuhaus the community Igersheim in Main-Tauber-Kreis in Baden-Wuerttemberg , surrounded by the nature reserve "Neuhaus".
history
The castle was probably built in the 13th century (first mentioned in a document in 1281) and was owned by the Lords of Hohenlohe - Brauneck . In 1320 it came to the diocese of Würzburg as a fief and formed the Neuhaus Teutonic Order Office with the surrounding villages of Althausen, Apfelbach, Bernsfelden, Harthausen , Igersheim, Markelsheim and Neuses.
During the Peasants' War and the Schmalkaldic War , the castle was destroyed and rebuilt. From 1704 to 1789 there was a bailiff (judicial and administrative officer) of the Teutonic Order on Neuhaus . In 1789 he moved his office to Igersheim. From 1792 the castle was gradually demolished.
The dissolution of the order by Napoléon also meant the end of the Neuhaus Teutonic Order Office, to which Igersheim belonged until 1809. After that the castle became state property and administered by the royal Württemberg rent office. - The castle was also notorious as a prison and torture castle.
Todays use
Today the ruin is owned and leased out. The outer bailey is mainly used for horse breeding. In addition, a medieval group for show and free fight finds a common point of contact for their training and for medieval markets. The ruin of the core castle is freely accessible.
