The Igling Castle is a castle above the Upper Bavarian town of Oberigling in the Landsberg am Lech district, which can be traced back to around 1215, and also forms the Igling district of the Igling community .

History and owner

Around 1215 a castle was built on the hill above Igling after the castle on the neighboring Stoffersberg had been destroyed. Through the Conradin donation (cf. Konradin ) the castle fell to the dukes of Bavaria around 1339, who leased the walls to finance wars and livelihoods.

Other owners of the castle were Karl Gelnhofer, Schwikker von Gundelfingen and the Meitinger. For the support of Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria-Munich in the Landshut War of Succession , he transferred the Hofmark Igling with the associated castle to the Augsburg patrician Johann IX on St. Nicholas Day 1504 . Long coat from the rafter († 1505). From his family, the property came to the versippten Rehlinger . In 1612, the Bavarian Elector Maximilian sold the castle to his Colonel Chancellor Joachim Freiherr von Donnersberg , who rebuilt it in 1620. Only the castle chapel remains from the building of that time. In 1632 the Swedes who passed through plundered the castle, the Donnersberg family died out and the building was sold to Count Spaur, who had the castle rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style.

Building description

1853, the court was expanded and the Castle by Arnold Zenetti the moated castle rebuilt. It has been preserved in this form to this day. In 1866 the complex was sold as Majoratsgut Igling to Count Leopold von Maldeghem, Baron de Leyshot, Comte de Stenuffel. The count had lost his estates in France and Flanders under Napoleon . Back then, the facility was almost twice as large as it is today. In addition to agriculture and forestry, the Count also had a brewery near the castle and managed to get the Munich – Lindau railway line past Igling. The majority of the Iglinger population worked for the Count's Maldeghem pension administration.

During the Second World War the castle was confiscated by the SS and after the war it was a branch of the Landsberg Prison , where the Americans housed war criminals. After that, refugees were housed in the castle.

The owner, Ludwig Graf von Maldeghem, gave up a large part of his land in the village to the population after the war due to the housing shortage caused not least by refugees. The decaying castle was completely renovated at the instigation of Ludwig Graf von Maldeghem from 1970, and a 9-hole golf course was built around the castle in the early 1990s . The castle is still owned by the Counts of Maldeghem and is not open to the public. The outbuildings house a castle restaurant, the Igling golf club, a pro shop and administration building. The castle is entered in the list of monuments.
