Neuhewen Castle

The construction of Neuhewen Castle dates back to the mid-13th century, when the Lords of Engen, also known as Hewen, built it. Towards the end of the same century, ownership passed to the Habsburgs. In the 14th century, the castle served as a pledged fief for the Counts of Hohenberg. From 1375 until the beginning of the 16th century, the Lords of Reischach were the owners of the complex. An event occurred in 1639 during the Thirty Years' War, when Bavarian troops destroyed the castle. In 1661, the Lords of Fürstenberg acquired the ruin, before it passed to the Ebinger von der Burg family in 1671. Finally, the castle ruin became Fürstenberg property again in 1751 and has remained so to this day.
