history

In 1025 a "Berehardeshusen" is mentioned for the first time. The palace complex was built by Bernhardin sen. Built by Stauff , it says: He built a permanent house in the village 'with a lot of good things, plus a very nice and good velde, called the praiten, with 110 days of planting paum, hops and other gardens'. From 1565 onwards, the rooms were crumbling, ... without an apartment in which a noble person could make do. The palace was rebuilt in the middle of the 15th century.

There was also a public bath in the castle courtyard, because the Stauffer in Ehrenfels also reported income from a padtzins in 1560 . According to the Palatinate-Neuburg market regulation of 1578, the citizens had to confirm at the Ehafttag that no sick person visited the bath.

In the 16th century, it was rebuilt as a nursing home . Well-known owners were the Stauffer zu Ehrenfels, the dukes of Pfalz-Neuburg (1567) and the Beratzhausen community. In 1805 these state-owned buildings were sold to private individuals and turned into ten residential buildings.
