history

Riedenburg Castle came to the Passau monastery in 1193 as the seat of a nursing court . After the first castle burned down in 1373, the castle was rebuilt. From 1480, Aigen am Inn was the seat of the rulership, although it continued to bear the name Riedenburg. By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the rule was secularized as part of the Hochstift Passau on February 22, 1803 and came to the Duchy of Bavaria , which had already made claims to the rule.
