High above the wine-growing town of Freyburg rises the mighty Neuenburg Castle. Its builder, Ludwig the Springer, secured the Landgraves of Thuringia's claim to power over the eastern part of their lands with its foundation. Several famous names appear in the castle's history: In 1224/25, Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia lived here, and the ornately decorated double chapel was dedicated to her – a true gem of the Romanesque period.

Museum & Exhibitions
High above the wine-growing town of Freyburg lies Neuenburg, the sister castle of Wartburg, founded around 1090 by the Thuringian Count Ludwig the Springer. The first mighty complex was built by 1150. The rise of the Landgraves of Thuringia was accompanied by further magnificent expansion. By 1230, Neuenburg was already around three times as large as Wartburg! The Romanesque double chapel built around 1170/75 is still an architectural gem today.
On behalf of Hermann I, Heinrich von Veldeke completed the Eneasroman around 1185, the first Middle High German knightly-courtly verse epic ever. Neuenburg experienced the end of its high medieval heyday under Landgrave Ludwig IV and his wife, Saint Elisabeth.
