Leonsberg Castle

The village of Leonsberg is a district of the Pilsting market in the Lower Bavarian district of Dingolfing-Landau . It is located about five kilometers west of the center of Pilsting on the edge of the municipality and on the northern edge of the Isar valley .

history

In the 11th and 12th centuries the lords of Zulling had extensive holdings in the Isar valley. After they died out in 1202 , the Altendorfer , who came from the Upper Palatinate , took over a large part of the hereditary estate and settled here as Counts of Leonsberg. The Counts of Leonsberg built up an extensive domain for themselves in the 13th century.

When the Counts of Leonsberg died out, the rule first passed to the Counts of Hals and then to other lords. In 1437 Niklas von Ramsberg sold the property to Duke Ernst and his son Albrecht III. The Dukes of Munich now installed district judges or orderlies in the Leonsberg district court . Often these were only called castle keepers, since jurisdiction over the old ruling district was temporarily exercised by the neighboring courts of Landau and Straubing .

In the Landshut War of Succession , Leonsberg went up in flames in 1504. In 1536/1537, Duke Ludwig X. had the fortress rebuilt as a hunting lodge using the stones from Wolfstein Castle . Presumably the current church was rebuilt in place of an older castle chapel. Even after the death of Ludwig X. Leonsberg remained the preferred hunting and pleasure palace of the Bavarian dukes. Around 1580 a hunter's house, a dog stable and a dog garden were built near the castle.

Towards the end of the Thirty Years' War the castle was badly damaged by the Swedes and the French and from then on fell into disrepair due to insufficient building maintenance. After the great fire of 1789 in the nearby Pilsting market, the citizens of Pilsting received permission to demolish the half-ruined castle in order to rebuild their houses with its stones. The basement with the castle cellars and the late Gothic castle chapel have been preserved.

The district court of Leonsberg with the offices of Leiblfing and Großköllnbach , which dates back to the rule of the Counts of Leonsberg , was divided on August 11, 1803 between the district courts of Straubing and Landau . Leonsberg then belonged to the community of Großköllnbach and became part of the Pilsting market as part of the regional reform on May 1, 1978 .

Attractions

  • Catholic branch church of the Assumption. The former castle chapel of St. Pankratius dates from the beginning of the 16th century. The late medieval tower of the castle ruins was structurally integrated, presumably in the course of the castle renovation in 1536/1537. The altars and choir stalls date from the late Renaissance around 1680. The renovation of the church from 1994 onwards took almost three years.
  • Castle ruins. The late medieval enclosing walls of the former Leonsberg Castle are to the west of the church, into which the former castle tower is integrated.
  • Castle model. On the occasion of the 1200th anniversary of Großköllnbach, the village community of Leonsberg built a model of the castle in 1990. The model is in the vaulted cellar of the castle restaurant.
