history

The Frauenbühl Castle was part of the Hofmark Winhöring, named after a Winiher , and the place is one of the oldest settlement levels in Bavaria . The first written mention of Winhöring comes from February 13, 816 in the traditions of the Hochstift Freising , at that time a Rihpert ad Uuiniheringum donated various properties. In May 842 Pope Leo IV confirmed the fiefdom of the papal court of Winheringen to Archbishop Thietmar of Salzburg in return for an annual interest payment. In November Pope Benedict VIII exchanged Winhöring, Antiesen and Wolinbach with Emperor Heinrich II for another property. Heinrich II donated these goods to the cathedral chapter of the diocese of Bamberg, which he had recently founded, for the salvation of his soul . The Hofmark Winhöring remained the property of the cathedral chapter until 1554. However, Winhöring was not administered directly by the Bamberg cathedral chapter, but leased to respected knights who performed the function of amann for a good interest rate of 180 Rhenish guilders . The first known by name is Seifried von Törring in 1357 , who held this office for three years. In 1362 Winhöring was pledged to Ulrich den Rabensteiner, later it was pledged again to Seifried von Törring until 1384, after which it was for some time in the hands of the widow Agnes, a born Grans von Uttendorf, of this Törringer. Thereafter, due to inheritance claims of Johann von Abensberg, he was granted the pledge of possession of Winhöring in 1395. After the death of Johann von Abensberg († 1397) Winhöring was administered by the Bamberg cathedral progenitors Johann von Haydeck and Martin von Lichtenstein. Because of difficulties with the subjects, the office was given to Wilhelm von Fraunhofen. He bought two properties on the Frauenbüchl and built the Frauenbühl Castle there. This was first in the possession of Georg Friesenheimer, customs officer in Ötting († 1467), then it came to his son Heinrich, heir to Winhöring. In 1506 it came to Wolfgang Kluegheimer through purchase or inheritance, in 1510 through marriage to the Pelkhover and on July 2, 1532 to Hans Rueland through purchase from Caspar Pelkhover. After Rueland's death, Frauenbühl was divided among his ten children and soon came to Gant . On December 17, 1548 Frauenbühl was sold to Baron Johann Veit von Törring (see below).

Wilhelm von Fraunhofen undermined the claims of the manor of Bamberg by buying up inheritance rights from his subjects or by lending Amann property to the Trenbeck zu Burchfried , whereby they assumed free ownership of these goods. In a process before the ducal court in Landshut, the cathedral chapter was ordered on December 2, 1429 to buy back these goods. In a land register from 1468, the Hofmark Winhöring owned 273 farms with interest, the considerable income of 238 pounds and 61 pfennigs went to the cathedral chapter of Bamberg. On November 4, 1554, the Bavarian Chamber Councilor Georg von Gumppenberg zu Pöttmes and Eurenbach and his wife Maria, née von Seibersdorf, u. a. the Winhöring office. The cathedral chapter initially reserved the right of redemption, but this was also replaced in 1560 for money. The goods of the Hofmark Winhöring were still considered Bamberg fiefs, which had to be re-awarded for every man or man case.

Georg von Gumppenberg also had difficulties with rebel subjects and with his liege lord. Therefore, he sold the property to Winhöring in 1567 to his friend Johann Veit von Törring zu Tüßling and Jettenbach. After his death († 1582) Winhöring was administered by the guardians of his sons, who were then enfeoffed together in 1583. On March 21, 1621 there was an inheritance division: the Hofmark Winhöring and the seats in Frauenbühl and Tüßling went to Hans Veit II, other parts with Jettenbach and Mögling went to Hans Sigmund. With the marriage of the daughter Maria of Hans Veit, who remained without a son, to the margrave Nestor Pallavicini, the property came to the latter. Because of accumulated debts, Winhöring had to sell to the electoral council chancellor and curator of Rosenheim, Bartholomäus Richel. On February 22, 1644, the Pope was able to obtain the annulment of the feudal relationship with the cathedral chapter of Bamberg and, on the basis of an electoral letter of grace from Maximilian, was granted the incorporation of the Burgfried and Frauenbühl seats. After three generations, the property was again so deeply in debt that Maximilian Josef Freiherr von Richel had to sell Winhöring to the widowed Countess Maria Ursula von Törring on May 8, 1717. Field Marshal Count Ignaz von Toerring had the palace rebuilt in the Baroque style from 1721-1730 . Frauenbühl Castle is still owned by this family today.

The history of Hofmark Winhöring ended in 1848, when patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished and all jurisdiction fell to the state.

As early as 1621/22, Johann Veitt II von Toerring commissioned the Neuöttingen city mason Michael Oettel to build a new castle. Frauenbühl received its current appearance from Field Marshal Count Ignaz von Toerring, who had the palace rebuilt in the Baroque style from 1721–1730 ; he had the two-story east wing built and the other three wings raised. Today it is a three-storey, square, four-wing complex with arcades around an inner courtyard. The castle chapel, consecrated to St. Bartholomew , is located on the second floor, this building dates from around 1500. A garden with three pavilions is also part of the building. In addition to various courtyards and houses, the Frauenpuechel manor also included the chapel of the three kings from 1532, which is now in the castle park. The castle was recently renovated.

The castle is privately owned and is not open to the public.
