history
The Edelfrei von Reifenberg from Ettling near Ingolstadt , who also appeared under the name of Speinshart and are considered the founders of the Speinshart Monastery, appeared as early as 1145 . In 1160 Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the possession of Reifenberg Castle to Bishop Eberhard II of Bamberg and in 1185 Pope Lucius III confirmed . the possession of the bishopric of Bamberg .
The castle was damaged in the Hussite War in 1430 and partially rebuilt by 1446. In 1460 a chapel (St. Niklas) was mentioned for the first time with the castle . In 1525, at the time of the Peasants' War , the castle was probably already in ruins. From 1607 to 1613 the Church of St. Nicholas (Vexierkapelle) was rebuilt and in 1788 it was given a baroque tower and thus its current appearance.
