Lupburg Castle Ludewicus Luppurch is first mentioned as a witness in a document from the Wessobrunn monastery in 1142. In the 12th century, the Lupburgs exercised the bailiwick over the important Regensburg monastery of St. Emmeram, and large parts of their property were on monastery property. They also had escort rights on the King's Road in the Laber Valley and thus also held high jurisdiction. Despite their high position, the Lupburgs did not manage to form a permanent and closed area of rule, even though Konrad von Lupburg was even titled count in 1185. The last representative of the family, another Konrad von Lupburg, was elected bishop of Regensburg in 1296. The castle came to the Bishopric of Regensburg in 1300, and the Bavarian duke's claims were settled by Bishop Konrad with a compensation payment. In 1387, Lupburg was then purchased by the Wittelsbachs. In 1395, Duke John of Bavaria-Munich pawned it to the knight Hans from nearby Parsberg, in whose family it remained after that. The Wittelsbach dukes of Palatinate-Neuburg tried to take possession of the Lupburg from 1530 onwards. However, there was disagreement about how much they should pay to redeem the pledge. They even claimed that they were entitled to a payment instead, and the dispute dragged on for decades until the emperor in Vienna intervened and the redemption was set at 14,000 guilders - in favour of the Parsberg family. From 1572 until the mediatisation in 1806, the Duchy of Palatinate-Meiburg maintained a custodianship there. The castle itself was destroyed by the Swedes in 1632 and rebuilt in 1710 - but only the lower castle. After secularisation, the Lupburg became private property and fell into disrepair. In the 20th century, the public sector took over the complex; more recently, it has been extensively renovated and the lower castle partially rebuilt. The courtyard of the lower castle is surrounded in a horseshoe shape by castle buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries: to the south there is a well-preserved residential building and the rebuilt gatehouse, to the west the main building, which has recently been expanded and roofed, and to the north a large storage building. On the rock several meters above the courtyard, only the foundations of the keep on the access side, which was built from smooth, large limestone blocks, remain.

Amazingly pretty and compact place with great views, e.g. from the castle's viewing platform, where restoration work has been going on for decades, making it even more beautiful! Great! 💝
