Burgstall Neuhaus

The Burgstall Neuhaus is the remnant of an abandoned , late medieval hilltop castle , about 840 meters west-southwest of the center of Pötzerreut , a district of the municipality of Röhrnbach in the Freyung-Grafenau district in Bavaria , Germany . The only remains of the earlier castle are two moats. Today the site is registered as a ground monument D-2-7247-0012 "Leveled late medieval castle stable Neuhaus" by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .

Geographical location

The now fully wooded castle site is 403  m above sea level. NHN Höhe on a spur of the terrain directed to the southeast, which is bounded by the valley of the Osterbach in the west and south. On the east side the spur is flanked by a dry valley through which the connecting road between Pötzerreut and Neuhausmühle runs. A slightly rising plateau extends northwards in front of the castle grounds.

description

The two-part castle site is secured in the north by a slightly outwardly curved, outer wide ditch against the foreland, which bends at the corners of the complex and runs out on the flanks towards the tip of the spur. A section wall was created on the inside of the outer trench, which ends at the corners of the facility. The kidney-shaped outer bailey is 60 meters wide and 30 meters long.

An inner neck ditch that is nine to ten meters deep , also curved outwards and which runs out on the sides of the complex in the slope, separates the outer bailey from the main castle . The core area of ​​the castle complex forms a steeply sloping, conical elevation at the southern tip of the terrain spur. There is an oval plateau that measures 35 meters from north to south and 28 meters from west to east.

In the middle of the outer ditch, a forest path leads into the complex, which is probably where the former access path to the castle was. The continuation of this path, which, after having passed the outer bailey, then breaks through the inner neck ditch, is probably recent.
