Eggendobl Castle

The former prince-bishop's castle Eggendobl is a castle in Passau . It stands on the left Danube shore below the castle Freudenhain .

Eggendobl is first mentioned around 1380 as a fiefdom of the Passau bishopric . In 1394, Prince-Bishop Georg von Hohenlohe expanded his country estate considerably. At the end of the 15th century the castle was owned by the Passau patrician Vinzenz Pelchinger. In 1554 it was bought by the prince-bishop's court chancellor, Aurelius Renninger, who had a house chapel added. At the beginning of the 17th century, cathedral provost Christoph von Pötting owned the building, who had a palace church built in 1613 by Francesco Garbanino in the southeast. In 1690 Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Lamberg bought the castle from Count Johann Franz von Thun and moved the regional court from the Veste Oberhaus here. The castle became the seat of a caretaker .

After secularization in Bavaria , Baron Gugler zu Zeilhofen bought the house in an auction in 1814. In 1833, the Nymphenburg porcelain turner Johann Georg Kumpf set up a porcelain factory here , but soon the branch had to be relocated due to the limited space. The castle has now been converted into a residential building, and a stone figure of St. Philip was attached to the facade . During the construction of the Schanzl Bridge and its access roads in 1970, the building could be saved from demolition, but the castle church, defensive walls and court administrators were torn down except for a painted Renaissance beam ceiling, which was moved to the Boiotro Roman Museum .
