Neurathen Castle

Neurathen Castle (German: Felsenburg Neurathen), which was first mentioned by this name in 1755,[1] is located near the famous Bastei rocks near Rathen in Saxon Switzerland in the German state of Saxony.[2] This was once the largest rock castle in the region, but today only the rooms carved out of the rock, passages, the cistern and the beam supports of the former wooden superstructure have survived.[3][4] In the years 1982–1984 parts of the extensive castle were used to build the open-air museum.
