Irnsing Castle

Irnsing Castle (2009)

The Irnsing Castle is located in the Irnsing district , today part of the Lower Bavarian town of Neustadt an der Donau in the Kelheim district of Bavaria . Today's castle is in close proximity to the local church of Our Lady. The castle that existed earlier could have been initiated by the diocese of Bamberg and served to protect the Danube crossing that existed in the immediate vicinity of Irnsing until the High Middle Ages . The long-distance route coming from Landshut ran after crossing the Danube to the castle and forked here to Mindelstetten near Eichstätt and to Riedenburg in the Altmühltal .

description

The castle is a three-storey building from the 17th century with a hipped roof and is now part of a farm. It has a two-wing portal with a console cornice , a portal frame and a vestibule. There is an elevator dormer on the eastern eaves side . A two-winged, two-storey barn with a half -hip roof from the 18th century belongs to the complex . The castle was probably built on the site of a castle complex; but there is also the assumption that the former castle was located on the site of today's village church and that the castle was later converted into a village church. Due to a lack of architectural studies, this interpretation cannot be decided. According to a mention from 1737, a "brick tower" belonged to the castle, presumably a now abandoned keep , a residential building and a farmyard.

history

Irnsing was given to the diocese of Bamberg on November 1, 1014 by Emperor Heinrich II . In the following centuries the connection to Bamberg was broken. The lords of Irnsing have been proven since the 11th century. A Berthold von Irsing transferred serfs to the Weltenburg monastery before 1089 , with an Ekkihart von Irnsing also being named in the list of witnesses. In the first third of the 12th century Heinrich, Macili, Kunibert and Babo von Irnsing testify to a tradition in Münchsmünster . Around 1142/58 a Wicman and a Reginbod of Irnsing are mentioned when a document is being drawn up.

Werner von Irnsing was Ministerialer of the Bamberg Monastery or the St. Emmeram Monastery , Wicmann and Reginbod could have been Weltenburg servants, Willihalm is assigned to the Regensburg Monastery . Hartnid is regarded as the ministerial of the Wittelsbach family because he attests to a Palatinate document issued in Jerusalem in 1167 .

Epitaph from the 17th century in the Church of Our Lady in Irnsing with the Prantl family coat of arms

In 1354 Ulrich der Wimmer von Irnsing appears. He is to be addressed as a servant of the Abensbergers . The lords of Pförring are based here in 1375 . In 1458 the seat of Irnsing is mentioned for the first time. In 1391, Hans der Pferde (Pförring) founds an early mass for Irnsing, in 1404 Hans Pferdegner von Irnsing the boy is called and between 1445 and 1472 the "noble and veste Wilhelm Pferderinger zu Irdnsing" appears. After that, the noble Wilhelm Mondorfer was named here in 1480, followed by the Prän (d) tl family, who were the owners until 1695. The current building was built in 1677 for Adam Franz von Pränd (t) l. After the death of Adam Franz Präntl, Bavarian court advisor, the estate passed to his wife Maria Magdalena, née Cammerloher, who was married to Ludwig Ferdinand Nothphia von Weißenstein for the second time . After the deaths of both, Irnsing falls to the Cammerloher family. In 1730 Josef Marquard von Cammerloher is the lord of Irnsing. He appoints his adoptive son Josef Freiherr von Speidel as heir. After his death, the property passes to Maximilian Graf von Arco , who Irnsing receives from his wife, née Speidel, in 1778. On November 14th, 1784 Josef Ferdinand Maria bought imperial baron von Lerchenfeld Irnsing and the nearby Hienheim . Successor of ownership was Josef von Schleich in 1825 and the Freiherrn von Gruben until 1854. Today the castle is owned by the Lindermayer family.
