Neuravensburg – A Village of Changing Hands and Lost Walls

Neuravensburg was first recorded in 1271 as Nuwen Ravenspurg. Its defining landmark was the castle, first mentioned in the 13th century and originally owned by Heinrich von Ravensburg, who also established the village beneath it.

After Heinrich's death around 1270, Neuravensburg was transferred to the Monastery of St. Gallen. In 1450, the village was sold to the city of Lindau, only to return to St. Gallen in 1586. The castle was destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525 and later rebuilt as a palace in 1614 under St. Gallen’s rule.

In 1836, the estate was sold to a citizen of Wangen. Demolition began a year later, and today, only the castle tower remains — a quiet witness to centuries of history.
