history

In 1378 Lenting became a fiefdom of the "Noble Fixed Chunnrat der Ellenbrunners", followed by the von Grumbach family from 1479 to the 1560s , including Argula von Grumbach . The owners of the aristocratic Hofmark were subsequently the Count Schlickh von Passau, and in 1575 Wigulaeus Hundt zu Sulzemoos . He was followed in 1605 by Georg Purchhauser auf Zülling, and in 1621 by Johann Franziskus von Lichtenau. The place is devastated in the Thirty Years War . The Hofmark Palace was then renewed in 1677. In 1730 Lenting came to the Count of Lodron , and in 1740 to Joseph Felix Müller von Gnadenegg. In 1743 the Lentingen Castle was devastated by the Austrians , but was rebuilt in 1746. At that time, the small open Hofmark was only subject to seven properties. 54 properties in Lenting, however, were directly subordinate to the Vohburg office. The last noble Hofmark owners were Josef Heinrich von Pechmann and the nobles von Stubenrauch. In 1840 the patrimonial jurisdiction was dissolved . The castle is still privately owned.
