The castle tower castle (mostly as a lock and seat called) was in the district of the town of Burg Winhöring in Altötting of Bavaria . Burgfried Castle should not be confused with the nearby Unterholznerburg .

history

Burgfried Castle was a fiefdom of the Bamberg Cathedral Chapter . The first fief taker is Hans Perger, son of the first owner of Waldberg Castle of the same name . One of Hans Perger's four daughters, Elisabeth, had been married to Hans I. Trenbeck since 1391; as there were no male heirs, they were able to acquire the castle keep. As a result, this property, together with Waldberg Castle and Hofmark Arbing, remained in the hands of the Trenbecks for about two hundred years. Ortolf inherited the castle keep from his sons Elisabeth and Hans Trenbeck, and Thomas inherited Waldberg Castle. Another list of court brands from 1598 reads: Schlos ze Burckhfird, owner of Threnbeck, who owns Schlos Waldberg and Hofmark Arbing . In 1564/65 there was an Imperial Chamber Court trial between Wolf Seifreid von Trenbach and Georg von Gumppenberg, who claimed the feudal sovereignty for Burgfried. However, this claim was rejected and Bamberg's feudal sovereignty was confirmed. The last of the Trenbeckers was Hans Christoph von Trenbeck, lord of the castle keep, Waldberg, Schambach, Peizkofen and Neubau († March 21, 1637).

In 1643 the fiefdom was all modified and in 1644 with Schloss Frauenbühl it was incorporated into the Hofmark Winhöring. The further fate is that of Winhöring. In 1821, that of Burg and Burgfried also belonged to the patrimonial court of Winhöring.

Castle keep today

The old castle keep, which had been uninhabited since 1637, was in such a bad structural condition that Max Joseph Freiherr von Richel had it demolished in June 1721 and built a small castle and church on the same site, which are still standing today. In the first noble seat there was a castle chapel inside the building. The castle chapel has been external since the new building , but was initially still firmly attached to the castle. This property is protected as a monument (no .: D-1-71-137-24). See also the list of architectural monuments in Winhöring .
