history

The site has been known as an estate since the 15th century. In 1457 it belonged to Duke Ludwig of Bavaria , then to various Nuremberg patrician families . Today's castle was built around 1760 by the Allersberg factory owner Jacob Gilardi and served his family as a summer residence. It bears the signature of the architect Gabriel de Gabrieli ; it is not known whether he was actually the builder. In 1889 it was acquired by the pencil manufacturer Lothar von Faber and is still owned by the Faber-Castell family today .

In 1987, Appelhof had seven residents and has been uninhabited since 2011. A restoration is planned.

Appelhof was part of the Altenfelden community , which was incorporated into Allersberg as part of the municipal reform.
