Mediaeval Castle
The landmark of the town is the castle. It is a historic monument from the 13th and 14th century. It towers over the town with its fortified castle tower and defensive shield wall and so attracts the attention of visitors.
New Castle

Built in the style of Classicism, the building is has extremely valuable Italian stucco decorations, which means it is of great cultural and historical significance. There is a hotel with a restaurant in the castle.
Lake "Neustädter See"
The lake called Neustädter See is a rarity in the southwestern part of our state; it originated in the post-glacial period as a "cave-in lake" via washed out salt deposits. Its shallow, sandy beaches are bathing beaches that have become a well-known and popular recreational area.
