Neuburg lies high above the river Inn, which forms the natural border with Austria. In 2006, a bridge was opened over the Inn for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting Neuburg with the opposite bank in Austria.

The municipality is divided into two parts. The eastern part lies directly on the Inn and consists of the two villages of Neuburg (with the castle) and Dommelstadl (with the church), which have grown together. The western part consists of Neukirchen am Inn (approx. 7 km away from Neuburg), with the villages of Pfenningbach and Kurzeichet as well as a few scattered hamlets such as Dobl, Fürstdobl, Grünet and Niederreisching. Neukirchen is also home to the municipality's train station. Neuburg am Inn is located directly on the Autobahn A3. The nearest major city is Passau, 12 km away.

History

It is assumed that the castle was built around the year 1050. The Neuburg am Inn formerly belonged to the Habsburg count of Neuburg. In the 13th century the Duke of Bavaria attempted to claim the fortress, but it was successfully defended in the name of the Count of Neuburg.^[3] Austria later purchased the sovereignty here through the Bishopric of Passau, acquired it in 1730/39. Since 1803 it has belonged to Bavaria.
