history

The builders of the castle in the 12th century were the lords of Heresing (Hirschling). Rudigerus de Heresingni is mentioned in a document around 1134, in 1168 a Hertnit de Hergesingen is mentioned. About the Conrad de Heresingen there is a document from Duke Ludwig the Kelheimer dated February 7, 1224, in which the Ministerial Konrad von Hirschling sells bailiwick rights to the Katharinenspital of Regensburg . Other owners were the Hofer von Lobenstein ; the first of these was Chalhoch, who appeared in 1380 as a witness to a donation. In 1416 he sold the Hirschling Castle to the district judge of Burglengenfeld, Stephan Hofer. From 1514 Albrecht Sinzenhofer is mentioned here. In 1559, Hans von Leublfing , a member of the Straubing government, bought the property. The Parsbergs follow in 1565 . In 1697, Hector von Vischbach, a Swedish chamberlain and major, came into possession of the castle. Jakob Freiherr von Bazendorf acquired the castle in 1696, tore down the old tower and had the castle renovated. A marble slab goes back to him in which the partly fictional history of the castle is presented in Latin. In 1697 the palace was redesigned in Baroque style by Baron Johannes Jakobus and Maria Katharina Elisaberth Sybille von Bazendorf. Joseph Freiherr von Schneid, Herr auf Ramspau , bought the castle in 1746. He was followed by the Barons von Pfetten (from 1801), in 1932 Eberhardt Hoesch acquired the property, which had come to the Kettenberger family in 1968. The castle is still privately owned today.

building

The castle is a Gothic, gable-independent, stilted, rectangular and three-storey late medieval saddle roof building with stepped gables, roof turrets and a baroque castle chapel of St. Dionysius on the ground floor of the former tower in 1750 . Conversions took place in 1697 and 1759. In 1838 the roof tower was built. 1925–72 the castle was used as a village school. In 1950 the castle was completely renovated.

Remnants of the foundation wall of the residential tower north of Hirschling Castle

At the site of today's castle there was a watchtower (allegedly Roman, but this must be disregarded as a historical error, since the Romans cannot be traced north of the Danube) until the High Middle Ages, which had to give way to a castle. On the north side of the castle, remains of the foundation wall (a 15 m wide wall with two layers of mighty cuboids) of the former residential tower of the old Niederungsburg made of granite humpback cubes from the 12th / 13th century have been preserved.
