    For more than 400 years, this privately-owned castle brewery has been brewing barley juice in the tranquil Labertal valley. This long-standing tradition is today combined with the best know-how in brewing, creating fantastic beers.

    The associated inn is completely dedicated to the concept of "slow food": Here only the highest quality ingredients, possibly from the environment, in uncomparable perfection brought to the table. For hikers with a little hunger there is - quite Bavarian - in addition to haute cuisine and a snack menu with local dishes.

    Opening hours are:
    Wednesday Thursday Friday
    from 5pm to 11pm

    Saturdays and Sundays
    from 11 am to 11 pm

    On Sundays and public holidays a table reservation is recommended:

      Eichhofen Castle

      One of the special features of Bavarian country castles is the so-called hammer castles, which were built from the 16th to the 18th century, primarily in the Upper Palatinate, as representative residential buildings for hammer mill owners. Eichhofen Castle is one of these.

      Eichhofen Castle was built around 1560 by the influential Sauerzapf family as a late Gothic, rectangular and three-storey gabled building, with stepped gables facing north and south. There is a Romanesque chapel on the west side. In 1866, the property was redesigned in a neo-Gothic style, and the onion domes were probably removed. The eaves side building on a slope is characterized by a protruding tower on the northeast side and a bay window on the southeast side. Inside, the generous three-room layout from the time of construction has been preserved. The hallway on the ground floor is a vaulted corridor, with rooms on two sides. The late Gothic planked beam ceiling and the solid fittings from the 18th century have also been preserved. There is a pavilion from the 19th century in the garden.
      The castle was pretty much destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century.
      The former iron hammer ceased operations in 1848 and the grain mills built by the Regensburg wholesaler Wilhelm von Neuffer have been idle since 1970.
      The Eichhofen Castle Brewery, however, which is run independently by the Schönharting family, can look back on a brewing tradition spanning more than 400 years. According to even older documents, the brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Bavaria, as the brewery was mentioned as early as the beginning of 1300. In recent years, the castle and the surrounding farm buildings have been extensively renovated. With the establishment of a workshop and exhibition space for artists on the upper floor of the former mill, Eichhofen also became a small, private cultural center that has been able to present a series of exhibitions to the public in recent years.
      The castle is listed in the Nittendorf community's monument list as a protected architectural monument and is now privately owned by the family of Dr. Günther and Ingeborg Schönharting.

        Schloßbrauerei Eichhofen, always worth a break, delicious cuisine and great beers, either served in the pub or in the beer garden.

              Unfortunately closed during Corona times, but a good idea with the kiosk.

                From the brewery beer garden you can see up to the Loch castle ruins. Very nice location!

                  The Eichhofen brewery is a castle brewery in the Eichhofen district of Mittendorf near Regensburg.
                  It was founded on April 12, 1692. There are a total of 140 seats inside and 100 in the beer garden. You can even see the 🏰 ruin Loch from there, but it is not accessible.

                    Yes, I would have liked to have a hiking beer, but the temporary beer garden across the street is not open during the winter months. So we had to fall back on the last mulled wine reserves...
