The Lion Fountain occupies a prominent position opposite the town hall and still marks the eastern edge of the former city fortifications, as the western city gate, the so-called Hostage Gate, stood here before its demolition at the end of the 17th century. The fountain, crafted in late Baroque style in 1744 and 1763 respectively, is an eloquent testament to early modern water supply in Neuenstadt before the introduction of a comprehensive water supply network. It also served as a communicative and social meeting place for the townspeople, who obtained their utility water and watered their livestock here. The lion sculpture atop the fountain's column, from which the fountain takes its name, acts as a representative supporter for the Württemberg coat of arms, through which the dukes of the Württemberg-Neuenstadt branch, who formerly resided in the castle, expressed their sovereignty over the town.

The Romanesque chancel tower church of St. Peter and Paul was probably built as a fortified church at the end of the 10th century and enlarged in 1578 with a large gallery and flat ceiling. Fragments bearing the year 1592 are visible on the chancel arch. The north wall painting (1591) is likely the oldest depiction of Luther with a swan in Württemberg; the paintings from the Sacrifice of Isaac to the New Jerusalem date from 1681. The church underwent extensive renovations in 1886 – the interior in 1955 – restoring the character of the early Romanesque chancel of the Renaissance nave.
