Neuenstein Castle

It stood on a sandbank in a swampy area near an old long-distance trade route that led from the Rhine via Wimpfen east to the Danube.

Gottfried von Hohenlohe, who lived at Weikersheim Castle, was a follower of Emperor Frederick II and tutor to his son Conrad IV.

[6] After Wolfgang Julius von Hohenlohe-Neuenstein died in 1698, the family moved their residence to Öhringen to the former canons' monastery, which was renovated in baroque style in keeping with contemporary taste.

[7] From 1870 onwards, renovation work was carried out in the Imperial Hall in order to then lay the foundation for a family museum of the House of Hohenlohe with a collection of antiques from Kirchberg Castle.

A bridge leads to the entrance, which is decorated with the coats of arms of Louis Casimir, Count of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein, and his wife Anna von Solms-Laubach.
