Adelspalais (Landshut)

Facade of the former noble palace

The noble palace "Zum Hofreiter" is a former seat of various noble families in the inner city of Landshut . Today it is a Bavarian inn.

history

The building was probably built in the last quarter of the 17th century, probably by a master builder from the circle of the electoral court in Munich . The first owner was Dr. Johann Haill, Chancellor of Straubing and Electoral Councilor of Munich, from 1674 to 1711. Later the building belonged to the prelates of Rohr Monastery, the Counts of Hörwarth and Lerchenfeld and Baron Guggemoos in Herrngiersdorf and Mirskofen . The name comes from the wheat beer brewer Franz Hofreiter, who bought the house in 1896.

description

With its strongly structured and stuccoed facade at the stylistic transition between Renaissance and Baroque, the palace is one of the most beautiful houses in the historic old town of Landshut. The three-storey saddle roof structure has an elaborate, three-zone gable structure in which both curved and triangular shapes can be identified. The building with six window axes has two coupled windows above the main entrance, roofed over with an arched gable on the first floor. The other windows on the first floor are each designed with an indicated gable, two triangular and two arched gables. Inside there is a beautiful three-armed platform staircase and on the second floor there is a large, now subdivided room with a stucco ceiling.

The building is a monument of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation with the number D-2-61-000-404. It is also a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention .
