history

Since 1422 the noble v. Westacher as landlords in Armstorf, which was part of the county of Haag until 1560 . The Westachers worked here as court administrators and judges for the Counts of Haag. In 1622 the old castle was torn down and replaced by the earliest baroque building. In 1818 the place came into the district of Wasserburg when the district offices were created .

When the neighboring community of Schiltern joined the town of Dorfen in the Erding district on January 1, 1972, the Mayerhof (a wasteland) adjacent to Armstorf fell to St. Wolfgang.

As of December 31, 2011 Armstorf had 1,036 inhabitants. This makes Armstorf the most populous part of the municipality after the main village St. Wolfgang, but above all the part of the municipality with the strongest growth since 1961 (at that time 245 inhabitants) and 1970 (412 inhabitants). See also the development of the population of St. Wolfgang .

The rapidly increasing number of inhabitants is explained by two relatively large new building areas (in the northeast and in the south) as well as the close proximity to Dorfen and the local connection to the Munich – Mühldorf railway line . The previously quite small industrial area northeast of the former castle park has also been significantly expanded in the direction of Reit in recent years.

The growth will gain further momentum after the completion of the federal motorway 94 , which will cut the municipality part in the northern area.

The district maintains friendly contacts with the municipality of Armstorf in the district of Cuxhaven .

Armstorf Castle

Former castle

In 1622, the current castle in Goldach Valley was built by the Westachers on the foundation walls of a previous building as a two-storey hipped roof building. The often changing owners rebuilt the building several times. Since the Art Nouveau period , the castle has stood as a three-story, four-tower main building with two side wings, as it is today as an educational institution for the Franciscan Sisters. In 1929 the building was taken over by the Franciscan Sisters from Au am Inn and from 1943 it served as an alternative hospital for Munich-Schwabing.

From 1954 a children's hospital with a nursing school was founded under its own management. It has served as an educational facility since 1975.

Church of St. Laurentius and St. Magdalena

St. Laurence

The original Gothic building belonging to the Schwindkirchen parish was fundamentally restored in 1631 after Armstorf Castle was rebuilt. In the new altar, donated by Hans-Joachim Westacher zu Armstorf, two Gothic figures from around 1500 were inserted: St. Katharina on the right and St. Stephanus on the left. The altarpiece of St. Magdalena is on loan from the Staatl. Gallery, arranged by director Georg von Dillis . It came into the church with the renovation in 1817. The tower was rebuilt in 1816.

Park chapel . In the former castle park there is an approximately 6.5 m long baroque-oriented chapel with a roof turret from the 19th century.
