Hauzenstein Castle

Hauzenstein Castle was first mentioned in 1372. The castle was probably the youngest castle in the Regensburg district. Its owner at the time was Hermann Hauzendorfer. Later owners were the Paulsdorf family, and from 1592 onwards, the Freidl family and Brentano von Brentheim. The current complex was built at the end of the 17th century by the Freidl family using stones from the old castle destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. Since 1830, it has been privately owned by the Walderdorff family. The two-story side wing was added in 1915.
The complex features a striking bell tower with an onion dome and a three-story hipped-roof main building with plasterwork. At the rear are a two-story wing with a gable roof and a two-story mansard-roofed building with a dormer window dating from the 17th/18th centuries. The castle chapel, dating from around 1835, is located in the columned hall on the ground floor. The chapel was probably originally a horse stable. The chapel is a square, four-story tower with a clock, pyramidal roof, and onion-domed dome. The gateposts with seated lions and the cast-iron fence date from around 1870. A Baroque garden is located to the south of the complex. Scattered remains of the old medieval castle can be found in the forest about 150 meters west of the castle.
