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 3oo m long castle you feel like travelling back

into the time of knights and chatelaines!
