history

The castle went back to a medieval Niederungsburg , but nothing has survived either. Neuenmuhr Castle is said to have been one of the most strongly fortified castles in the Altmühltal and was larger and probably more magnificent than the Altenmuhr Castle in neighboring Altenmuhr, which still exists today . It is not known when the plant was built. The rent office files indicate that the castle probably already existed in the 12th century. In 1522 the castle was rebuilt. During the Peasant Wars , Georg Truchseß von Wetzhausen , abbot of the Auhausen monastery , found refuge in the castle with other monks. During the Reformation was Georg Vogler , Chancellor of the Margrave of Ansbach , imprisoned here. The castle was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War , but was spared the fire that destroyed Mittelmuhr and Neuenmuhr. The building was repaired from 1715 to 1716. In 1824 the castle chapel was demolished, and the rest of the castle followed from 1834 to 1835. Only in 1851 had all the jumps been leveled.
