Schloss Haus

This is Schloss Haus

Source: Wikipedia ->

In the 20th century, the castle became the residence of Hereditary Prince Franz Joseph von Thurn und Taxis, who used it as a hunting lodge. After Franz Joseph married Elisabeth von Braganza in 1920, the couple lived and managed Schloss Haus as an agricultural property. In 1928 the south-west wing was increased by two storeys and the palace was completely modernized. Extensive forests with their own forestry were attached to the farm. A brewery and a distillery complemented the activities. At its peak, around 250 people lived and worked in Schloss Haus. The couple spent most of the winters in St. Emmeram Castle. On April 11, 1947, Countess D’Orsay died in Schloss Haus Theresia Grimaud.

Since the death of Franz Joseph von Thurn und Taxis in 1971, the palace complex has not been used and has stood empty. In 1986 it was entered in the list of monuments. In 2008 the Thurn und Taxis sold the castle. The new owners, the Weitzel family, carried out extensive renovations and modernizations, which were recognized in 2009 by the Regensburg district's monument protection prize.

Eggmühl Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schloß Eggmühl

The former lowland castle and medieval pond complex was built in the 12th century. At that time, it was owned by the Truchsesse zu Heilsberg or the lords of Eggmühl. Around 1333, it was owned by Truchsess Ulrich von Leublfing. In 1341, Emperor Louis IV the Bavarian granted him market rights in Eggmühl. Around 1432, an architectural expansion took place with the construction of a zwinger (curtain wall) by the Nothaft brothers, to whom the lordship of Eggmühl had been mortgaged in 1403 by King Ruprecht of the Palatinate. From 1475, it housed the district court of the Dukes of Bavaria. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was architecturally altered.
In the 17th century, the granary with a half-hip roof was built. A copperplate engraving by Michael Wening from 1701 designates Eggmühl as an Electoral Castle and Lordship. The Catholic filial church of St. Lawrence, formerly the castle or fortress chapel, was built in its present form in 1720.
During the Battle of Eggmühl on April 22, 1809, the castle was also fiercely contested and finally captured by the French Marshal Lannes.
In 1812, the castle came into the possession of Count Maximilian von Montgelas, in 1834 to the princes of Thurn and Taxis, and was the seat of the princely Thurn and Taxis' lordship court Zaitzkofen in Eggmühl until the revolution of 1848.
In 1919, the castle was acquired by retired headmaster Oskar Hirsch. Later, it was converted into a retirement home and the north wing was extended. Today, the castle is used as a BRK senior citizens' home.
The castle is a structured, irregular four-wing complex around a rectangular courtyard open to the northeast, dating from the 15th century. The west wing, a former gatehouse, is a two-story building with a vaulted ground floor and a hipped roof with dormers and a swept gable. The south wing is a two-story building with a hipped roof over an irregular floor plan. The north wing is a three-story building with a hipped roof with remnants of the zwinger wall with four round rubble stone towers from 1432.
