Legend of Irnharting Two damsels were riding out in 1329 and got lost in the woods west of Gunskirchen. They asked God for help and promised to build a small church. But soon they were found and saved. In gratitude, her father had a small church built and a magnificent castle next to it.

The beautiful Cumberland Castle is located on a small hill, adorned with a park, promenade paths inviting for walks, above the natural jewel Krottensee. In 1882, Duke Ernst August (II), Crown Prince of Hanover, acquired a lot of land in the immediate vicinity of the Queen's Villa in the north of the city and had a magnificent palace built in the neo-Gothic Windsor style on the hill between 1882 and 1886. In 1886 the Guelphs moved into the extensive and magnificently furnished palace complex. From 1886 until his death in 1923, the palace was the seat of the exiled crown prince. His mother and some other members of the family are buried in a mausoleum next to the castle.

Irnharting Castle is two kilometers west of Gunskirchen. The castle consisting of two parts was built in a large square pond on two islands in it. The front chateau with the tower was connected to the rear building by a bridge. The buildings on the front island were grouped around a courtyard that was open on one side, namely the one that faced the other island with its castle building. Located on the former front island, the complex is a three-wing structure. The tower, the base of which has been converted into a gate hall, stands almost in the middle of the front wing and is still the only entrance to the palace today, since the pond in the form of a wide, water-bearing ditch has been preserved here. A brick bridge spans the moat in front of the gate tower. The second castle complex, formerly also a horseshoe-shaped complex, was closed and covered by modifications and is now the actual inhabited castle. The drained pond floor is significantly lower than the level of the former islands and the adjacent corridors, but the grassy ground is continuous wet and even swampy in places.

Cumberland Castle was built as a residential castle for the Guelphs from 1882 to 1886 in the historicist style. After the Second World War, the Republic of Austria took over Cumberland Castle. The castle was last renovated in 2000 and is often used as a film location, also known from the TV series "Schlosshotel Orth".
