Neu-Baumburg Castle

Neu-Bamberg, Germany, Germany

Neu-Baumburg Castle, perched above the village of Neu-Bamberg in Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate, is a medieval ruin built around 1253 by the Raugraves as a strategic elevated fortress overlooking the Appelbach valley, distinguishing it from the older Alte Baumburg nearby.

First mentioned as "Novum castrum apud Sarlesheim," it served as a comital seat and widow's dower for figures like Raugrave Heinrich II's wife Adelheid, passing through pledges to Mainz archbishops before destruction in 1668 by Elector Karl Ludwig of the Palatinate amid regional conflicts.

Featuring an irregular rectangular core castle with outer bailey remnants, restored walls since 1970, and adjacent St. Dionysius Church from its medieval chapel, the site rewards hikers with panoramic North Palatine Uplands views via marked paths.
