history

The location of a castle goes back to the Hofmark Zellerreit until the 14th century .

Before the 17th century, the castle was owned by the noble von Zeller . In 1606 ownership changed to the Barons von Kern family (presumably to Abraham von Kern, † 1628, from Wasserburg am Inn), who bought it from the Dellinger family . In the first third of the 19th century, a 'Knight of Mussinan' was named as the owner (this is likely to have been Joseph Anton von Mussinan ), who acquired the castle and the surrounding area from the Kern and made it arable. In addition to clearing the surrounding wood, a fruit and vegetable garden and a tree nursery were laid out on the mountainside at the time.

description

The castle originally dates from the second half of the 16th century and was built as a three-story construction with a gable roof and stepped gables. Part of the palace complex is the late Gothic St. Georg (Ramerberg) palace chapel with baroque interior fittings (including an altar consecrated in honor of St. George and St. Anthony), a gable roof , a western turret and a pointed gable . The last renovation took place in the 19th century. The brick gate with triangular gable and battlements dates from this time .

Contemporary

The Bavarian National Museum acquired a tabletop from the castle inventory at the beginning of the 20th century. It was a rare early pictorial representation of the Bavarian topography at the time of the Renaissance from 1531 (map of Old Bavaria), surrounded by scenes of pleasure such as bathing, hunting and play as well as various gender coats of arms, with a size of 108.5 × 112 cm . This representation is probably a facsimile of a lost woodcut map by Johannes Aventinus .
