history

In 1494, a Pankratz stomach of Kirchberg is mentioned in the land table of Duke George of Bavaria ; this is also documented around 1500. In 1516, Kirchberg passed into the hands of Hans Magens. From 1522 the seat is owned by Konrad Stadler. In 1549 his wife, Magdalena Stadler, née Gruber, received the fief . Between 1550 and 1553 Kirchberg came to live with her relative Albrecht Gruber zu Peterskirchen . In 1558 the seat with all goods was sold to Christoph Schönburger zu Elreching. In 1578 and 1580, Anna Maria, daughter of Hans Schönburger zu Rohr , the ducal chamber councilor Conrad Zeller zu Leibersdorf and Wolf Christoph Elreching zu Mamming are named as fiefs . In 1597 the seat is in the hands of Elis von Schönburg. From 1599 Hilpold von Neuhaus owned the seat through his wife Anna Maria von Schönberg together with Elias von Schönburg. After the death of Elias († 1606), his share passed to his son Hans Christoph. After the last of the Schönburgers, Georg Adolph von Schönburg, died without an heir, the fallen fiefdoms passed to Max Freiherr von Mayer and Corbinian von Prielmayr, both electoral councilors, in 1693. In 1716, however, Kirchberg was given to Maria Jacoba Freifrau von Closen zu Gern, a born Freiin von Schönburg. After her death († 1722) the seat was divided between Georg Franz Antoni Freiherr von Closen zu Gern and Georg Christoph Cajetan Ferdinand Nothaft , Herr von Weißenstein, on behalf of his seven children from his marriage to Maria Barbara von Closen zu Gern. After the death of Georg Kajetan Count von Closen zu Gern († 1780) Kirchberg fell to his two nieces Maria Anna Freiin von Ingenheim and Maria Theresia Freifrau von Dachsberg, both born von Closen. Then Kirchberg came to Maximiliana von Dachsberg, married Countess von Leyden. After her death, the seat was given to her son, Count von Leyden, together with his wife, a Baroness von Ingenheim.

As early as 1575 Kirchberg was referred to as a small brick mansion. The engraving by Michael Wening from 1721 also shows a simple three-storey building protected by a ditch over which a bridge leads. A bay window and an attached tower can be seen on the side. The building has no other special features.
