Neuenstein Castle
Neuenstein Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle on a 440 m above sea level spur of the Kleiner Schärtenkopf southwest of Hubacker, a district of the municipality of Lautenbach, in the Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was built around 1322 by the Counts of Freiburg and destroyed in 1609. Other owners were the Lords of Neuenstein. Only a few wall remains of the castle are still visible. Traditions also speak of another castle of this name; this Alt-Neuenstein Castle could have stood to the right of the Rench above the village of Hubacker. It was probably the ancestral castle of the Lords of Neuenstein, who were first mentioned in 1123. In 1405, a castle site at the old Neuenstein was mentioned.
