Sankt Kastl is a hamlet in the Upper Bavarian market of Reichertshofen and a Catholic pilgrimage site . The small town consists of three properties, a former restaurant and two church buildings.

Pilgrimage

Around 1037 Walperich von Fahlenbach brought a relic of St. Castulus here from a cruise . St. Kastulus is venerated as the patron saint of farmers and shepherds. This Walperich von Fahlenbach was probably a follower of the powerful Counts of Moosburg , whose house monastery was also dedicated to St. Kastulus. There was probably a castle or a manor house near St. Kastl. The village of Stöffl, located below St. Kastl - derived from the name of the church saint Stephanus - probably emerged from this farm and was an administrative center until the Thirty Years War , when Stöffl was completely destroyed. This function was then taken over by the market and court location Reichertshofen.

The late Gothic pilgrimage church of St. Kastulus has stood on a cleared island between Langenbruck and Rohrbach since 1447 . But an older church may have stood at this point before.

The high altar of this hall church dates from 1671, but contains elements of the previous altar from around 1500. The side altars date from the second half of the 17th century. The oldest of the votive tablets on the side walls bears the year 1686. In 2004 the church was extensively renovated.

The actual pilgrimage chapel in the immediate vicinity dates from the 17th century, is built in the Baroque style and is much smaller than St. Kastulus .

Profane

  • In the church tower, about 20 meters high, there is a cannonball from the Battle of Kastlberg in 1796, recognizable as a black spot.
  • In 1925 accommodation was built on the Kastlberg for the Ingolstadt Alpine Club , which over the years has developed into an inn for pilgrims.
  • During the construction of the Federal Motorway 9 from Munich to Berlin , a parking lot was built at the level of the pilgrimage ensemble with direct access to the church and chapel. The parking lot has meanwhile been vacated.

Sankt-Kastl-Linde

To the east of the church is the so-called St.-Kastl-Linde, which is probably 400 to 500 years old. According to legend, it is here that Saint Castulus appeared to a shepherd and healed his sick cattle. After a storm the linden tree tilted to one side and partially broken. According to the tree register at Baumkunde.de, the linden tree has apparently now died and is no longer there.
