The Kalchsreuth Castle is a abgegangenes Castle in Kalchsreuth , now a district of the municipality Edelsfeld in Upper Palatinate Amberg-Sulzbach of Bavaria .

history

Kalchsreuth (previously written as Karlsreuth ) was one of the youngest court brands in the Sulzbach district judge. However, Kalchsreuth was already mentioned in the late Middle Ages , because on October 26, 1423 Conrad Stör zu Kalchsreuth sold his inheritance to his brother-in-law Martin Virdung, keeper of Parkstein , his inheritance in the Kalchsreuth dwelling with "Wall and Burgstall" and "accessories". On a map by Daniel Beich from 1688, a building with a tower, wall and rampart can be clearly seen.

It was not until the 18th century that court rights could be proven here. Kalchsreuth was a split from the Hofmark Kürmreuth , with which it was reunited in 1798 by the widow Margaretha Ströhl, née von Niller, from Auerbach . In 1803 the Hofmark was inherited by the Niller family. In 1809 Katharina and Friedrich von Niller were named as owners of the Patrimonial Court of Kalchsreuth. On April 15, 1821, the Finance Council of Niller was approved to set up a second class patrimonial court, and in 1846 jurisdiction was withdrawn by the Bavarian state.

Kalchsreuth belonged to the municipality of Sigras around 1800 (today also incorporated into Edelsfeld), also in 1818, but now assigned to the Amberg district court . On July 1, 1972, Sigras was incorporated with Kalchsreuth and eight other districts after Edelsfeld. Kalchsreuth was part of the parish of Königstein , Sprengel Edelsfeld.

Construction

The castle, first mentioned in 1423, was described by the manager of Königstein as no longer inhabited and as dilapidated around 1700, the castle gate and drawbridge were rotten and fell into the moat. The water of the trench was fed by the Krumbach . At that time, furniture and a copper kettle were moved from the castle to his inn by the landlord Adam Lehner and his wife. In 1717 the castle was additionally damaged in a storm. The castle ensemble can still be recognized on the original cadastre from 1832. In the 19th century the castle fell into disrepair and was then demolished.
