Nannhofen Castle

The Nannhofen Castle is a castle in Nannhofen in the town of Mammendorf in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck in Bavaria . The castle is privately owned.

history

The local nobility of the Nannhofer came from the Freising ministry . In 1305, Wernhart von Nannhofen sold the Sedlhof and two other farms including the village court of Nannhofen to the knight Ott den Eisenhofer. The marshals of Bergkirchen-Nannhofen have been found in Nannhofen since the middle of the 14th century. Around 1403/05, Duke Ludwig the Bearded of Bavaria-Ingolstadt acquired Nannhofen Castle from the Munich patrician Sentlinger and expanded the castle into a " fortress ". However, it was destroyed in the Bavarian War in 1422 . On behalf of the Munich Duke Willhelm III. it was restored "even more beautifully". After the death of Duke Albrecht III. it was the widow's residence of Duchess Anna, where she died on October 9, 1474. The place became ducal Hofmark and came in 1585 to the Bavarian court chancellor Christoph Elsenheimer and his descendants. In 1632 the fortress was devastated by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War, and was subsequently partially rebuilt. In 1726 the Hofmark passed to Hofkammerrat Johann Baptist von Ruffini . Today's Nannhofen Castle was built around 1752 not far from the old fortress. In 1826 the Barons von Lotzbeck acquired the castle with the associated patrimonial court (repealed in 1848). A classical expansion was carried out by Jean Baptiste Métivier in the years 1840/48.
