Neuhaus castle ruins

Neuhaus castle ruins

The castle was probably built in the 13th century (first mentioned in a document in 1281). It was in the possession of 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.

Today it is only a ruin. In the meantime horse breeding is mainly practiced there. In addition, a medieval group for show and free fight finds a common starting point for their training as well as for the medieval market Spectaculum et Gaudium , which is held annually in summer.
