Hirschling Castle

The castle is a Gothic gabled, stilted, rectangular and three-story late medieval gable roof building with stepped gables, ridge turret and a castle chapel of St. Dionysius renovated in baroque style around 1750 on the ground floor of the former tower. In 1838 the roof tower was built.

The builders of the castle in the 12th century were the lords of Heresing (Hirschling). Rudigerus de Heresingni is mentioned in a document around 1134, 1168 a Hertnit de Hergesingen is mentioned. About the Conrad de Heresingen there is a document from Duke Ludwig the Kelheimer from February 7, 1224, in which the ministerial Konrad von Hirschling sold the Katharinenspital of Regensburg bailiwick rights. Other owners were the Hofer von Lobenstein; the first of these was Chalhoch, who appears as a witness to a donation in 1380. In 1416 he sold the Hirschlinger Castle to the district judge of Burglengenfeld, Stephan Hofer. From 1514 Albrecht Sinzenhofer is mentioned here. In 1559 Hans von Leublfing, government councilor of Straubing, acquired the property. In 1565 the Parsbergs followed. In 1697, Hektor von Vischbach, a Swedish chamberlain and major, came into possession of the castle. Jakob Freiherr von Bazendorf acquired the castle in 1696, demolished the old tower and had the castle renovated. A marble slab goes back to him, in which the partly fictitious history of the castle is presented in Latin. In 1697 Baron Johannes Jakobus and Maria Katharina Elisabeth Sybille von Bazendorf gave the castle a Baroque makeover. Joseph Baron von Schneid, Lord of Ramspau, bought the castle in 1746. He was followed by the Barons of Pfetten (from 1801), Eberhardt Hoesch bought the property in 1932 and the castle was thoroughly renovated in 1950. which came to the Kettenberger family in 1968. The castle is still privately owned today.
