The history of Neuhof was shaped for a long time by the lords of Zabelstein Castle. Initially, the Lords of Scherenberg sat here before the castle complex fell to the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg in the 14th century . In the immediate vicinity of the Neuhof were the so-called Zabelsteiner Höfe, which are now abandoned. These farms were also dependent on the gentlemen on the Zabelstein and were given up after 1842.

A wayside shrine was built in 1701 and can be found in the "Ebene" corridor. His essay was decorated with a representation of Christ as judge of the world. Several cellar vaults and a cistern have been preserved from the Zabelsteiner Höfe . They are to be assigned to the early modern period.
