Ebermannsdorf Castle

The local noble family of Ebersdorf has been documented here since the early 12th century. They lived in the Eberburg. In 1480, Jakob Kemnather zu Ebermannsdorf is mentioned with the "lower seat" as a fief of his sister Agnes, widow of Jakob Kemnather zu Ebermannsdorf. A new seat had therefore already been built next to the old castle at that time.

The current castle is, as the year "1723" shows, a baroque building from the early 18th century. It was built under the manor owner Johann Josef von Dyrr using the old walls according to plans by Ignaz Anton Gunetzrhainer.

It is an elongated two-storey solid building with a hipped roof, a central projection with a mansard roof. A transverse building with a mansard roof and a stair tower with a hipped roof is aligned towards the castle church. The castle building has a plaster structure. The complex is closed off by a castle wall, also with plasterwork, basket-arch gates and a niche figure. The castle was renovated in 1977/78. Since 1963, the castle has been owned by a branch of the Barons von Eyb family.

The complex also includes the former castle church, now the branch church of St. John the Baptist, which was also built in 1721-23 according to plans by Ignaz Anton Gunetzrhainer. It is a hall building with a mansard hip roof and a recessed tower covered by a tower cap. It also has a segmental gable portal and a plasterwork structure. The church was renovated inside and out in 2018-2020. A special feature is the historic organ from the 19th century, which is attributed to Friedrich Specht.
