The former moated castle „Castrum Nuwenhof“ in Neuhof was an impressive medieval moated castle 🏰💧, built in the 13th century by the noble family von Nuenhov. It was strategically located in the valley of the Fliede river and later served the prince-abbots of Fulda as a secondary residence and administrative center. Fun Fact: The name „Castrum Nuwenhof“ means something like „New Court“ – an indication that the castle was an important stronghold in the region.

Visible from afar, Monte Kali – the spoil heap of the Neuhof potash mine – rises as an imposing landmark in the landscape. It now contains more than 125 million tons of spoil. From every direction, the hill makes for a fantastic photo opportunity. https://www.kpluss.com/de-de/ueber-ks/standorte/europa/neuhof-ellers/monte-kali/index.html https://www.kpluss.com/de-de/ueber-ks/standorte/europa/neuhof-ellers/monte-kali/index.html
