Neuhaus in the time of the dukes

Neuhaus Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1369, marking the beginning of the history of the village of Neuhaus. It remained a residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg for over 300 years. On this tour, you will learn more about the beginnings of the village of Neuhaus, baroque buildings tell of its first heyday in the 17th century.

The circular route leads to the most important buildings from the time of the Dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg and reflects the importance of Neuhaus as a residence.
Over 650 years of eventful history.

The small town of Neuhaus an der Elbe looks back on a unique history:
It originated from the outer bailey of the residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Lauenburg.

Baroque life and ducal splendour ensured the first flourishing of the small town.
With the takeover of the ducal regency by Lüneburg-Braunschweig
the residence was abandoned, but Neuhaus continued to develop nonetheless.

The Amtshaus, a proud 18th century building, still dominates the town centre today.
The economic boom in the 19th century gave Neuhaus an urban
feel, before the profound changes of the 20th century also reached Neuhaus.

The three circular routes provide an insight into over 650 years of Neuhaus history,
which can be experienced at the various places and squares.

The information boards tell of historical events,
but also of the lives of the people of Neuhaus, their everyday lives and their festivals.
