history
The construction of today's hunting lodge began around 1600. The clients were Count Gottfried von Oettingen-Oettingen and Count Wilhelm II von Oettingen-Wallerstein , the builders were Peter and Hans Alberthal . After the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634, the castle was repeatedly plundered by scattered soldiers. The last prince of the Protestant line Oettingen-Oettingen sold the castle to Count Franz Albrecht zu Oettingen-Spielberg towards the end of the 17th century . The new castle owner had the castle expanded and the Marienkapelle built in 1692 . The patron s box in the church is accessible from the castle via a connecting passage. From around 1700 to 1846 the village children were taught in the castle. After the Second World War it was used as a warehouse. In 1978 the building was extensively renovated.
Hirschbrunn Palace is owned by the von Oettingen-Spielberg family and is not open to the public . Only the castle chapel can be visited.
