Spindlhof Castle

Spindlhof Castle was first recorded on a map from the Regenstauf Nursing Office in 1597. The business, initially called “Mühlhof”, was owned by Hans Spindler, who coins the current name. In 1691, the Spindlhof, which was expanded to include a forest and several pieces of land and was owned by Hans Christoph Freiherr von Diemantstein, was granted land estate freedom and thus became a noble seat. Over time, the Spindlhof experienced a number of changes in ownership. It should be particularly noted that it was not a permanent family property, but that many noble barons coveted the building and had it expanded and changed according to their own ideas at the time of ownership.
The Spindlhof experienced its earliest clerical influences around 1800, while it was owned by the auxiliary bishop Valentin Anton von Schneid, who had a chapel built adjacent to the main castle.
The castle boasted its largest property holdings in 1918, when it and 400 hectares of land were sold to the Argentine diplomat and aircraft manufacturer Hermann von Frémery. When the Frémery family returned to Argentina in 1947, they offered the Spindlhof to the then Archbishop Michael Buchberger for use, whereupon it was looked after by the Mallersdorf sisters until 1969. Spindlhof Castle has been owned by the Episcopal See of Regensburg since 1955.
Spindlhof Castle consists of six interconnected building complexes. The neo-Gothic main palace, which was rebuilt between 1894 and 1901, merges into the north wing on the north side of the building, which was built in the mid-1950s. In the west, the main castle is connected to the hall building, built in 1999, which leads into the south wing housing the castle chapel (1791), which was completed in the 1970s. In addition, the Albertus Magnus Church was built in 2004, which, in addition to its own entrance, is also connected to the castle chapel.
The interior of the castle is now largely used as meeting rooms. The largest room in the Spindlhof is the so-called plenum. The Belétage on the second floor houses seven halls from the late historicist period, most of which have been preserved in their original form. The styles, which are also reflected in the furniture of the halls, range from neo-rococo to Gothic and Moorish influences.
