Burg Neuhaus (Eltville) stands in Kiedrich (Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Neuhaus is a vanished medieval fortification whose remains survive only as visible traces in the ground, within the municipal forest of Eltville, north of Kiedrich. Built on a rocky spur overlooking the Sülzbach valley, it seems to have been in use for only a short time. The ditches that once separated the outer bailey from the main castle can still be made out on site, along with the foundations of a square keep.

What to know

This is not a standing castle but an archaeological site in the forest, where only earthworks, ditches and foundations remain visible.
Access is on foot through the Eltville municipal forest, near the well-known Förster-Keil Douglas fir.
The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany, and any digging or collecting of finds there requires prior authorisation.
No opening hours, fees or facilities are indicated, as this is a freely accessible site without visitor infrastructure.
Sturdy footwear is advisable, since the terrain is a wooded, sloping ridge.
