Burg Veldenstein, Bergfried in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz stands in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz (Landkreis Nürnberger Land), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Veldenstein overlooks Neuhaus an der Pegnitz in Bavaria, standing on a rocky spur first recorded in a 1269 deed of enfeoffment by the Bishop of Bamberg. In private hands since 1807, the castle was reshaped over generations by successive owners, combining its old keep with later additions such as the Herrenhaus. A rockfall in 2013 led to the creation of a viewing platform where the natural cliff edge once stood, an area now open to visitors along with the inner courtyard.
