Today, Schwarzenfeld Castle is a conference and recreation hotel with a beautiful park on the banks of the Naab.

Wernberg Castle The earliest documented mention of the castle "Werdenberch", which was founded by the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg, dates back to 1280, when the castle came into the possession of Konrad von Paulsdorf. The following year, his daughter brought Wernberg into the possession of the Nothaft family through marriage, who lived here until the 16th century. In 1367, Heinrich I Nothaft gave his free Wernberg Castle to the Kingdom of Bohemia as a fief. In 1509, Georg, Kaspar, Heinrich, Hans and Bernhard Nothaft sold Wernberg Castle to Georg Wispeck von Velburg. In 1530, Johann IV, Landgrave of Leuchtenberg, acquired the castle, which came to the Electorate of Bavaria when the Leuchtenberg family died out in 1647 and became the seat of the custodianship for the Upper Palatinate from 1704 to 1803. During the Thirty Years' War, Wernberg Castle was occupied and plundered by Mansfeld troops in 1621, Swedish troops in 1634, and then imperial troops. At the end of the war, the castle was in a desolate state. From 1856/57 to 1859, the castle served as a forced labor house and from 1861 as a "rescue center for fallen women and neglected girls." In 1918, Wernberg passed to Andreas Graf Schall-Riacour, who rented it out as a home for asylum seekers. From 1804, Wernberg temporarily degenerated into a penal institution. In 1992, the municipality, the state, and Klaus Conrad, owner of the Conrad electronics group, raised a total of 27 million DM to fundamentally renovate the partially ruined castle. First, the castle became a modern hotel and conference center with Michelin-star cuisine, then a private clinic in 2019. Since then, it has been closed to visitors. This means that a unique medieval building is unfortunately hidden from the public. The Wernberg Castle, built in the middle of the 13th century, included the mighty square keep, the palace in the north and the ring wall. The Nothafts increased the density of the buildings and built, among other things, the castle chapel of St. George, which was consecrated in 1401 and then remodeled in the Baroque style in 1712. The south wing was built in 1478, and the north wing was remodeled at the same time. The front moat and the castle gate, which was fortified by a drawbridge, probably also date from this period. The inner courtyard with its two-storey arcades and the stair tower clearly exudes the Renaissance style. In 1731, further repairs were necessary. In 1920, under Andreas Graf Schall-Riacour, the south wing was rebuilt, but it partially burned down in 1942. Source: www.hdbg.eu/burgen/detail/burg-wernberg/98

Schwarzenfeld Castle The Schwarzenfeld seat was built and inhabited by Conrad Pullenhofer in 1372, before it became the property of the Plankenfelser noble family in 1389. They expanded the rather inconspicuous building and added four towers in the 15th century. In the 1580s, the Teuffel von Pirkensee family bought Schwarzenfeld. During the Thirty Years' War, the castle and the town were devastated. The castle's four towers were probably destroyed and have not been rebuilt since. From 1654, the imperial colonel Peter Pischer and his family were lords of Schwarzenfeld. In 1686, the baronial von Schneidau family took over Schwarzenfeld as a manor. In 1707, a fire destroyed the castle and the surrounding buildings, so that it had to be completely rebuilt elsewhere. A new building, called the "Plankenfelser Schlössl", was built on the foundations of the old castle. It was adapted to the period with stepped gables. In 1717, Schwarzenfeld was owned by the von Wildenau family, and in 1794 the property was purchased by the Counts of Holnstein. At the beginning of the 19th century, the main building was given its current shape by removing the stepped gables in favor of a hipped roof. Two small towers with onion tops were also added. In 1890 and 1892, Maximilian von Holnstein had the castle extended by Julius Hofmann to include the annex and the two towers in the style of the then popular historicist architectural style. At times, up to 160 workers were involved in the reconstruction, which gave the castle its final appearance. Surrounding buildings were also demolished to provide a view of the castle. Shortly after its completion, Count von Holnstein used the castle as a retirement home. He went blind in 1893 and died in the castle on February 1, 1895. After the Holnstein family moved out in 1907, the castle remained unused for a long time, except for short-term leases. The market acquired the castle in 1934, and after several changes of ownership, the main building of the castle burned down on the night of June 25, 1982 and lay abandoned for many years. In 1995, it was sold to private individuals Christine and Hans Dobler from Nabburg. They had the castle completely gutted, renovated and converted into a conference hotel, which opened in 1996 and is called "Hotel Schloß Schwarzenfeld". Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Idyllic place on the Pfreimd, an information board provides information about the former clay mill.

The market square is really beautiful and you can easily start a walk around and to the castle here!

The marketplace is perfect to take a break for a scoop of ice cream and cool off your feet.

Traditional village inn in Zangenstein Along the "Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Cycle Path", which runs on the former railway line from Wölsendorf to Schönsee, there is only one place to stop during the weekday to Obervietach in the village inn Kellermann in the middle of Zangenstein. Since there are no signs along the cycle path, cyclists who do not know the restaurant pass the mostly open "refreshment station" unsuspectingly. Hence my tip: Simply cycle a few meters from the cycle path to the center of Zangenstein. Mondays are always closed, but guests are welcome on all other days of the week between 10am and 6pm. Edeltraud, a passionate landlady, provides her guests, who prefer to sit under the awning around the large table in the courtyard, with snacks and drinks. Franz, the landlord, is very knowledgeable about bikes and can help if someone has a problem with their bike. God preserve us beautiful village inns like that of the Edeltraud and Franz Stockerl families.
