Guttenburg Castle
Guttenburg Castle is located in the Guttenburg district of Kraiburg am Inn in the Mühldorf am Inn district (Guttenburg 18).
history
Around 1285, Duke Heinrich XIII. (Bavaria) built Guttenburg Castle high above the right bank of the Inn on a small mountain spur through his ministerial Heinrich von Taufkirchen , from which he had a good view of the Salzburg exclave Mühldorf am Inn . His main opponent, Archbishop Rudolf , complained in vain about the castle building.
In the Bavarian War of 1426, the castle was burned down Guttenburg, late 15th century castle Guttenburg but was rebuilt. Around 1660/70 and in the 18th century the castle was transformed into a palace with a baroque garden. The originally fortified character of the castle was lost in favor of a renaissance castle .
Until 1824 it belonged to the Tauffkirchen family, who were raised to the status of imperial barons in 1639 and the status of imperial count in 1684. In 1824 the last man from Taufkirchen zu Guttenburg sold the castle to the Baron von Gruben. From 1842 Anton Arnold von Linck was the owner of the palace and the Hofmark. In Mayer-Westermayer (Diocesan Description Munich-Freising, 1874–1884), the Prince of Cantacuzene is named as the castle owner in vol. II p. 98. Tombs "von Linck" and "Cantacuzene" can still be found at the nearby village church of Frauendorf.
In 1999 Nico Forster bought the castle and renovated it.
Guttenburg Castle then and now
The engraving by Michael Wening from 1721 shows the extensive grounds of Guttenburg Castle. Obviously, the park was enclosed by pavilions, economic buildings and a wall. The stepped gables of the farm yard are a historical-neo-Gothic revaluation of the late 19th century.
The castle is an irregular, pentagonal complex. The palace wings are arranged around a closed inner courtyard. The castle is protected by a moat with a castle bridge. The west side of the main building is provided with a gate tower, on which a baroque hood was placed and which is richly structured between the round of the base and the octagon that forms the roof , the latter has numerous small shooting openings. Next to the castle is a well-tended park with a flower ring in the middle. The pavilion in the castle park is crowned with a small baroque onion. Two Soviet aircraft are also on display in the palace gardens , an Antonov An-2 and a MiG-21 fighter jet belonging to the NVA . The castle is embedded in a golf course.
