Asch Castle
Asch Castle was the ancestral seat of the Lords of Asch , which is first recorded in sources around the year 1000. The castle stands west of Moosburg an der Isar ( Upper Bavaria ) at the foot of the old town below the Westerberg.
The Lords of Asch gave up their manor in the 12th century in order to increase their influence and prestige at the ducal court in Landshut . In 1541 Wolf von Asch, princely councilor and game master in Landshut, bought the property back. He had the massive three-story building erected and the castle surrounded by a moat .
In the 17th century, the northern and southern façades were supplemented by curved gables in the Renaissance style , but these are no longer there. After the city fire in 1865, the moat was filled with rubble. The gate tower built in front of the moat has also disappeared today.
The Lords of Asch lived in the castle until the line died out in 1883.
