Schloss Neidstein

Schloss Neidstein is a castle located in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria, Germany, in the municipality of Etzelwang.

[4] The New Castle — an elongated tract with the east gate and a round tower in the west — was designed by Jobst Brand(t) and completed in 1513.

Several wall reliefs that show themes from the Old Testament were carved by Georg Schweiger (17th century) from Amberg.

A substantial part of the area housing the archives was supposedly used to accommodate horses of French troops passing through in 1796.

[6] The whereabouts of the castle's library were unknown until an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (28 October 2006, p. 48) announced that a large amount of literature would be auctioned off in Munich in November 2006.
