The sights of Neuerburg
Travel back to the Middle Ages on a city tour. The city has not lost its authentic character. Curved streets, small half-timbered houses and the 500-year-old late-Gothic St. Nicolas Church on a rock above the city. Above it is the unique Vogtgebäude, which today is the vicarage. Remnants of the town wall and the castle are also still visible.
The foundations of Neuerburg Castle were laid in the twelfth century. However, a large part was lost in 1692, in the time of the French king Louis XIV. In 1926, the castle ruins were converted into a youth hostel by the youth association. Make sure you take a look in the courtyard from the castle.
