Mirskofen Castle today

Mirskofen Castle is a castle in Mirskofen ( Markt Essenbach ) in the Landshut district .

history

Mirskoven was the seat of a rather insignificant Hofmark since the 14th century . In 1466 and 1490 the Landshut citizen Wilhelm Neumeyer is mentioned as the owner, in 1616 the ducal treasurer Dr. Johann Plank. After 1818 Mirskofen was only run as a patrimonial court for a short time, which was owned by the retired district judge von Peyrer. The later owner, Count Philipp von Deroy, had Mirskofen Palace demolished and rebuilt around 1840 . In 1915 the property passed to Count Josef Erwein von Deroy-Fürstenberg, who released it as refugee accommodation after the Second World War . The current owner, Joseph Graf von Deym from Arnstorf, has thoroughly renovated the building.
