history

Herrenstein was completely forgotten for a long time and was only rediscovered and researched by local researchers in the 70s of the 20th century. This castle should have been a small tower castle . When it was created is unknown, but the sale of Leuchtenberg goods to the Waldsassen monastery is likely to have been recorded here in 1302. The Ermersreuther (owners of the castle from 1200 to 1374) apparently sold it several times to the Leuchtenbergers and bought it back again. They in turn sold them several times to the Waldsassen monastery. After that the place is only mentioned as a desert , of which every memory was slowly lost. The later hall name was acorn garden.
