history

Miltach Castle

Until the church is planted

Miltaha was first mentioned in 1070. Around the year 1100 it belonged to the Counts of Bogen and in the late 12th century to the Margraves of Cham . In 1307 Miltach was pledged to Konrad von Chamerau , in 1321 it owned the saddle bows .

Miltach around 1900

In 1463 Miltach was regal again. During the Löwler war the place was plundered by the rebels in 1492, as well as in September 1504 during the Landshut War of Succession by the Bohemian-Palatinate war people. Miltach Castle was probably built around 1600 under Justinian von Peilnstein.

In 1650 the Neukirchner nurse Johann Wilhelm von Leiblfing acquired the castle and the Hofmark Miltach. In 1679 the Schönprunners were first mentioned as the owners of Miltach Castle.

From then on Miltach belonged to the Barons von Schönprunn. The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and formed a closed Hofmark. Altrandsberg, which belongs to the municipality of Miltach, also formed a closed Hofmark (Barons von Leoprechting ). In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

19th and 20th centuries

In 1820 the Schönprunn family was allowed to set up a second class patrimonial court for Miltach. Until the abolition of patrimonial jurisdiction in 1849, the Schönprunners remained the lords of the royal court in Miltach.

The owners of the castle have changed several times since then. From 1871 to 1875 it belonged to the writer Maximilian Schmidt . It has been owned by the Schleyerbach family since 1979 and is used for exhibitions and music events, among other things.
