The mighty Neuhaus Castle high above the Danube was built in the 12th century and used as a hunting seat by the bishops of Passau; in the 14th century the house of Schaunberg transformed it into a fortress.
In 1918 the family Plappart became the owner of Neuhaus Castle, which is, therefore, not open to the public. But even when you just walk around this 300 m long castle you feel like travelling back into the time of knights and chatelaines!
