Freudensee Castle

Freudensee Castle is a former mansion on the lake of the same name . It belongs to the urban area of Hauzenberg in the Bavarian Forest .

history

The early history of the castle is not known, it was probably owned by episcopal ministers or other noble families and possibly abandoned for a long time before it came into the direct possession of the Passau bishopric in the 15th century and was restored. The Passau bishop Georg I von Hohenlohe (1390–1423) is known as the owner of the castle and used it as a hunting lodge . From the 16th century Freudensee Castle was abandoned and the nursing court was abandoned. The ponds as well as the other fishing waters in the area remained in the possession of the prince-bishop and were subordinate to the Oberhaus district court, and from 1786 to the Thyrnau maintenance office . The Passau bishopric came to Bavaria in the course of secularization in 1805. The ruins of the castle came into the possession of the Mörtl family in the 19th century, who built a residential building from the former chapel around 1870 and then a stable and barn. The ivy-covered buildings are still inhabited today.

The late Gothic Freudensee winged altar in the castle chapel from the workshop of Rueland Frueauf the Elder from the end of the 15th century was transferred to the parish church of St. Vitus .
