Niederpöring Castle
The Niederpöring Castle is located in the Lower Bavarian community Oberpöring in the district of Deggendorf (Niederpöring 23).
history
The first written report about Peringe is in a list of goods by Abbot Urolf from Niederaltaich Monastery from around 790. It is reported that the Bavarian Duke Odilo from the Agilolfinger dynasty gave the monastery the place with 30 farms as well as all tributaries and serfs.
Around 1210 Rapoto , Count Palatine von Ortenburg, donated curias to this monastery in Smidorf et in Perin . With Perin the later Pörring is meant. After 1406, under Abbot Johann, the monastery awarded the castrum in Niderpering cum suis pertinentiis et alia foeda to Count Etzel von Ortenburg . In 1486, this property came under Abbot Friedrich II of Niederaltaich to Ulrich von Chamerau zu Haitzstein . The Chamerau family remained in the possession of Hofmark Niederpöring until the end of the 16th century. In 1599, Christoph Bernhard von Seibolstorf held the fief . In 1603 it passed to his heirs, in 1613 Anna, the widow of Christoph Bernhard von Goder, is recorded. In 1615 Hans Friedrich von Pienzenau zu Hartmannsberg owned the castle and the Hofmark. In 1690 the castle was rebuilt under Baron Franz Ignaz von Pinzenau. In 1752 the Pienzenau were still the lords of the court. The last of this family was Baron Johann Baptist von Pienzenau († 1800). The Hofmark Niederpöring belonged to the Wisselsing office in the Osterhofen nursing court .
In 1795 Johann Baptist von Pienzenau bequeathed Niederpöring to his daughter Maria Anna Countess von Boetty or to his son-in-law, the Hungarian Count Boethy, who died in 1801. His widow sold Niederpöring in 1803 to her brother-in-law Karl August von Yrsch , Major à la suite , who also owned Oberpöring Castle . On April 9, 1830, Count Yrsch Niederpöring sold to Countess Augusta von Kielmannsegg-Schönberg , who "smashed" the extensive property.
She sold the remaining castle in 1848 to the court clerk Ignaz Auer from Eichendorf . He sold everything on the same day to Johann Braun from Aholming and made a considerable amount of money in the process. In 1848/49 the second floor was demolished after a fire and the western half of the stately building was demolished. In 1863 Johann Braun sold the castle to Ludwig Jahrstorfer, whose son Michael inherited it in 1901 and sold it on the same day to the businessman Johann Lermer from Osterhofen . He has the obviously badly run-down castle completely renovated. He added the polygonal oriel towers at the sides to the remaining part and repaired the facades and the interior. However, the property only comprised more than half of the original complex. Johann Lermer sold the castle to his son-in-law Otto Leeb from Mainkofen in 1918 . Otto Leeb again handed the castle over to his nephew Hugo Leeb in 1952, who sold it to the cattle dealer Ludwig Bibel from Landau in 1974.
The Oberpöring administrative association acquired the listed building from Ludwig Bibel in 1985. Since then, the renovated castle has been used as an administration building.

Niederpöring Castle then and now
After the engraving by Michael Wening in 1721, the Niederpöring Castle complex consisted of a three-storey residential wing with a basement and an attached tower that was covered with a tent roof. A wide flight of stairs led to the castle entrance. Upstream were farm buildings with a gate tower, which formed an almost closed four-sided courtyard. In addition to the castle, an extensive park area, which is also surrounded by a wall, can be seen.
Today the much smaller castle building in Niederpöring has two floors. The two polygonal towers attached to the sides and covered with an onion roof are striking . A flight of stairs also leads to the entrance portal. The interiors are stately furnished with high vaulted ceilings and tiled stoves in red and green. Also worth seeing are the late Romanesque parish church of St. Bartholomew with its mighty defensive tower and the baroque pilgrimage church of Maria Bürg.
