history

The forerunner of Wildenwart Castle was built in the 12th century and changed hands several times. The castle was given its current form as a four-wing complex with a corner tower around an inner courtyard closed with arcades around 1600. At that time, a garden was laid out in the moat of the former castle. The castle was the seat of the rulers who were given high jurisdiction until 1806 . From 1688 the estate was owned by the von Tann family, who sold it in 1771 to the Preysings , who also owned the nearby Hohenaschau estate . The largest village in the Wildenwart rule was Prien , which around 1804 was still a village consisting of only 33 houses. In 1813 the lordships of Wildenwart and Hohenaschau were transformed into a royal Bavarian , Counts-Preysingian patrimonial court based in Prien. The 1818 repeal of the lending was challenged in court, so that the court lasted until the revolution in 1848.

Wildenwart Castle was acquired in 1862 by Archduke Franz V of Modena-Este and his wife Adelgunde of Bavaria. It finally came into the possession of the Bavarian royal family, who found refuge here after the 1918 revolution.
