Neuhaus tower hill

The tower hill Neuhaus , also called Burgstüblein , is an old medieval tower hill castle (Motte) on the Theresienhöhe in Wirsberg in the district of Kulmbach in Bavaria .

The tower hill complex, which dates back to around 1000, is assigned to the Walpots and is considered the predecessor of the Wirsberg Castle, built around 1200 by the Andechs-Meranians . Pottery fragments from the 11th century on the still preserved terrace tower hill point to the settlement. The tower hill itself was removed after 1841 and completely leveled in 1889.
