Discover Neuburg a.d.Kammel

Neuburg a.d.Kammel offers several ways to shape your stay: castle history, ecclesiastical art and landscape each provide their own highlights. You can focus on the historic buildings or make the hills, meadows and river valleys of the Three Valleys Tour the centrepiece of your visit. If you would like to include other interests, the wider Günzburg destination also offers its own cultural and leisure activities.

Castle history and sacred art

Neuburg Castle was built between 1562 and 1567. The leprosy chapel on Bahnhofstraße dates from around 1883, and the Lourdes grotto between Neuburg and Halbertshofen was built in 1992/93. The three buildings represent different periods and provide tangible points of reference for local history. Their dates span the 16th century through to the recent past.

Religious art is also one of the area’s defining themes: the Descent from the Cross group by Christoph Rodt, created around 1628, is a jewel of the parish church of the Assumption of Mary. If sacred sites are of particular interest to you, you can include the chapel and the grotto in your travel plans as two distinct points of interest. The castle and the Descent from the Cross group add their own architectural and art-historical highlights.

Landscape and routes around Neuburg

An avenue of stone lime trees runs along the eastern and southern slopes of the castle hill at a site known as the Platte. It is a distinctive landscape feature alongside the town’s buildings and artworks. Neuburg can therefore be explored not only through its history, but also through the striking features of its landscape.

The Three Valleys Tour around Neuburg passes through gentle rolling countryside, colourful orchards, centuries-old stands of trees and the river valleys of the Kammel, Günz and Haselbach. The terrain, orchards, old trees and river valleys combine to shape the landscape along the route. This offers a different focus from the individual historical landmarks: if you would rather prioritise scenery over architectural history, the tour provides plenty of specific points of interest.

The market town of Neuburg is connected to the wider cycling network via the Kammel and Günz Valley Cycle Route. This connection is a helpful point of reference for anyone wishing to include cycling in their travel plans. Check current route conditions before setting out.
