Building
The ruins of the original Schloss Neidstein are located on top of the peak above the New Castle. The New Castle — an elongated tract with the east gate and a round tower in the west — was designed by Jobst Brand(t) and completed in 1513.
Today's appearance, especially that of the gables, is due to a renovation between 1855 to 1860. Several wall reliefs that show themes from the Old Testament were carved by Georg Schweiger (17th century) from Amberg.
