Neuhaus Castle

Castles & Country Houses
Neuhaus Castle, dating back to the 14th century and left in ruin from 1800, has been revitalised by the Vetter von der Lilie family since 1982, who turned it into a family home with comfortable guest apartments and magnificent suites.

Neuhaus Castle was built as a fief by the counts Stubenberg, whereas the earliest documents from 1375 mention Hans von Neuhaus as lord of the castle. The next lords of the castle were members of the Drachsler family. Destroyed by fire in 1551, but rebuilt soon thereafter, the castle was reinforced with an imposing defence wall in the 17th century, due to Turkish and anti-Habsburg threats, the latter by Hungarian insurgents.

The Vetter von der Lilie family was resident in Lower Styria (now Slovenia) beginning in the 16th century and then a little later, also in Northern Moravia (Czech Republic), where they held high public and social functions. Both possessions were expropriated as a result of World War II. The family purchased the Neuhaus Castle ruin with the intent of restoring it as a new family residence, an undertaking that was completed in cooperation with the Federal Office for the Protection of Monuments.  

The ''Knights' Hall" is located in an outbuilding of the castle and is the ideal place for events, seminars, weddings or birthday parties, as well as the castle courtyard, suitable for outdoor receptions and wedding ceremonies.

The hall's size is 110 m² (9 x 12 m), the room height is 6 m. It offers room for about 50 persons, is accessible barrier-free and is equipped with internet access. It is closed in winter.
