On the way along the Inn from Wasserburg to Gars.

I settled down a little further! :-)

There is another path, but there is now a house there and the path is already overgrown on the lower side!

Königswart Castle stood where the Nasenbach flows into the Inn River. It was a subsidiary castle of the Hohenburg lordship. Based on its name and location, Königswart was probably a royal toll castle. According to legend, during the time of the emperor's absence (1056-1059), a robber baron robbed ships here. The emperor's widow, Agnes, promised as much land as he could ride around in one day to anyone who could put an end to the roguery. "Kuno Maier" then set out from Altdorf near Haag, defeated the band of robbers, and rode around the territory of the County of Haag on a white horse, which he subsequently acquired. In 1202, Königswart, like Hohenburg, was owned by the Counts of Megling (Stampfl), 7 km downstream. In 1226, Königswart passed to the Bishopric of Regensburg and came under Haag administration in 1304. However, the old castle was only used for military purposes. By 1550, Königswart was a ruin. Today, only the foundations of the once proud complex remain. The castle was 125 meters long and 65 meters wide. To the north, at the mouth of the stream, there was an approximately 125-meter-long defensive structure consisting of earthworks and ditches. Access to the castle was from the south via a wide, deep moat, in front of which was a raised area measuring 125x125 meters. A Romanesque capital belonging to the castle was walled into a small chapel in the 19th century. This capital is the oldest secular work in the County of Hague. (Source: R. Münch)

The monastery church is really impressive. Next to the church there is a café and a garden center with public toilets. Dogs are not allowed in the cemetery. The most interesting things about the former monastery church are the cast stone Pietà (ca. 1430) and the choir stalls (ca. 1600). The gilded shrine with the bones of the blessed Kaspar Stanggassinger (d. 1899) is inserted into the "Salzburg Altar". Numerous votive offerings testify to a lively veneration of this blessed man from Berchtesgaden. More information at: https://www.inn-salzach.com/kloster-gars-am-inn-mit-kirche

The restaurant is open again! Thu-Sun, recommended

Nice place to rest and enjoy

We used to have delicious food here, but today the inn at Au am Inn Monastery is just a (listed) ruin. History: Around 1122, Archbishop Konrad I of Salzburg founded the Augustinian Canonry of Au am Inn. Our original inn was founded in 1426 by Provost Petrus I. He received permission from Count Wilhelm von Törring to brew beer on monastery grounds. The building that is now visible was built in 1604 on the remains of the previous building. The "Golden Deer" inn was never run by the monks themselves, but always by employees of the monastery. The Furtner couple bought the house in 1803, but then gave it into the possession of the Pfeil family in 1906. The jumping golden deer above the front door is the landmark of the house and was extensively restored just a few years ago. The last landlady, Anni Pfeil, died in 2020. Since then, there has been no activity here and the building has fallen into disrepair.
