Neuravensburg

Neuravensburg was first mentioned in 1271 as Nuwen Ravenspurg. The landmark of Neuravensburg was its castle, which was first documented in the 13. century. At that time it was owned by Heinrich von Ravensburg, who also founded the village below the castle. After his death around 1270, Neuravensburg was handed to the monastery of St. Gallen until the village was sold to the city of Lindau in 1450. It remained with Lindau until 1586, until it fell back to the Moastery of St. Gallen. The castle was completely destroyed during the peasants war in 1525 and rebuilt as a palace in 1614 under the rule of St. Gallen. After the castle was sold to a citizen of Wangen in 1836, demolition began the following year. Today only the tower remains.
