Burgstall Altneuhaus stands in Falkenberg (Landkreis Tirschenreuth), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burgstall Altneuhaus refers to the remains of a former spur castle perched at 471 metres above sea level in the Falkenberg forest, overlooking the Waldnaab valley near Falkenberg, in the Tirschenreuth district of Bavaria. Built in the 13th century by the lords of Falkenberg as a satellite stronghold to Burg Falkenberg, it passed through marriage to the lords of Leuchtenberg and was later sold to Waldsassen Abbey before being abandoned around 1400. What remains today are sections of the moats from the outer and main castle areas, while artefacts recovered from excavations are kept at the local museum in Neuhaus.

What to know

  • This is not a standing castle but an archaeological site reduced to remnants of ditches.
  • Reaching it involves a forest walk up to the rocky plateau overlooking the Waldnaab valley.
  • There are no opening hours or fees since the site sits freely accessible within the forest.
  • Finds from excavations are displayed at the local museum in Neuhaus, not on site.
  • Uneven forest terrain calls for sturdy walking shoes.
