history

The castle on the Naab gave Nabburg its name. In 929 King Heinrich the Finkler documented it here . Around this time a border mark was formed, which had its seat in Nabburg. The margraves carried the title "Marchia de Napurch". For a long time the important families of Schweinfurt and Diepoldinger were the margraves here. Under Duke Ludwig der Strenge , the areas around Nabburg could be acquired for the Wittelsbachers between 1268 and 1272 . According to the house contract of Pavia a division of the vice office Lengenfeld had to be made, so in 1329 the vice office Amberg was founded, to which the vice office Nabburg (1354-1410) was added. A Ludwig von Nabburg is referred to as the brother of Otto von Runding and both are assessed as ministerials of the Margraves of Cham.

The castle property was only reported as a country estate towards the end of the 16th century . Around 1580 it belonged to Balthasar von Gleissenthal ; the latter had to pledge it "as much as a hundred guilders" because of existing debts. After his death († 1588) it passed to his underage son Georg . This was under the tutelage of Hanns Christoph von Plessenberg auf Gleiritsch and Christoph Peter von Sporneck . Since Georg died in 1590, the castle property went to his stepfather Balthasar von Weseneck . Since the debts were still considerable, he - like Balthasar von Gleissenthal - got involved in court proceedings about tithes to be paid . Ultimately, the Weseneck could not get through with his requests and the government of Amberg decreed on February 5, 1602 that he had to submit to all city rights. This did not end the quarrels, however, but the Weseneck got into a dispute with the Nabburg citizen Hans Stahel from 1594–1599, which resulted in death threats and attacks. Weseneck was also unsuccessful in other projects (e.g. the planned sale of the castle estate) until his death († 1618). He was followed by his son Hans Adam von Weseneck . He was Catholic and was therefore able to stay on his property during the Thirty Years War . After his death these came to his son-in-law Wolf Dietrich Neidhard , who had married his daughter Maria Jacobine in 1637 . After his death († 1654) Maria Jacobine administered the property with great care. In 1665, in view of her advanced age, she asked that the property be passed on to her son-in-law Wolf Christoph Erdmann von Prandt and that he be recognized as a resident of the castle. On August 16, 1665, the court chamber decreed the recognition of Prandt as an Upper Palatinate Burgsassen. The castle estate remained with the von Prandt family for 60 years. After the death of the wolf Christoph Erdmann von Prandt , his heirs sold the property, which had been designated as a man's fief, to the Reichenbach monastery in 1725 with the electoral special consent . The secular feudal bearer Caspar Plab , selected by the Reichenbacher provost , performed the compulsory Landsassen in the same year. The monastery remained in the possession of the castle estate until secularization .

The monastery official who worked there was able to stay here for the time being, but had to pay the income to the Nabburg district judge. In 1804 the district court of Nabburg confirmed to the rent office that the castle property had been extradated. In the same year, Baron Karl von Riedl bought the castle estate apartment with garden, barn and stable.

The Nabburg castle estate is located east of the former nursing home on the northern city wall. A round arched gate entrance with a stepped gable has been preserved from the building, which dates from the 17th and 19th centuries . The building itself is a two-storey saddle roof structure , the core of the 16th / 17th century. Century. The entrance portal is adorned with the coat of arms of Abbot Bonaventura Oberhuber (1698–1735) from Reichenbach Monastery (year 1725). At the rear of the property and to the east of it are parts of the former curtain wall from the period after 1529. We do not know what the castle originally looked like, as no plan or drawing has been handed down. The wide square used to be a beautifully planted area.

The facility is now privately owned.
