The Peterskirchen Castle is located in the town district of the Lower Bavarian village of Dietersburg in Rottal-Inn of Bavaria (Lawrence Glass-way).

history

Peterskirchen was the seat of the nobles of Peterskirchen . A Willihalmus of Petreschirchen is mentioned as a seal witness as early as 1140. Later the nobles von Grub were the lords of Peterskirchen. To be mentioned are Konrad Gruber (1260), Erasmus Gruber (1400), Hermann Gruber (1491) and Wolfgang Gruber (1520). The castle was probably built under the Grubers in the first half of the 16th century. In 1542 there was a dispute between the Gruber family and Friedrich von Pienzenau about the authorities over the Peterskirchen seat . Gruber insisted on being a compatriot at Peterskirchen and being able to exercise noblemen's freedom . In 1545, however, the decision was made in favor of the Pienzenauer. The last Gruber died in 1549. A painting of the coat of arms of the nobles von Grub and a grave slab can be found in the parish church of Peterskirchen. In 1565 the seat was completely acquired by the von Pienzenau .

After the death of Friedrich Christoph von Pienzenau , who left three daughters and a sister, Peterskirchen came to Perlaching by inheritance , and in 1628 the Pienzenauer fiefs were split up. Due to the marriage of Genofa von Perlaching to Hans Georg von Hienheim, known as Elsenberger , he was considered the owner of this Hofmark from 1640 . Presumably in 1673 Peterskirchen was sold as Pertinenz von Baumgarten to Gottfried Wilhelm Graf von Rheinstein and Tattenbach and his wife Maria Barbara, née Countess von Valley . This family remained in the possession of the Hofmark until 1821. Since the last of this family died childless, the property came through a will to his nephew Maximilian Graf von Arco-Valley .

In 1824 Karl Maria Rupert von und zu Arco sold the masonry Peterskirchen Palace, including the adjoining Mahlergarten and the cleared area in front of the palace, to the school teacher and sacristan at Peterskirchen, Lorenz Glas, in the name of his underage son. The reserved right of repurchase was no longer used. The large "binder room" in the castle served as a school until 1867 until a school was built. After the death of Josef Glas, the last descendant of the Glas family, the almost completely crumbling building was acquired in 1986 by the behavior researcher Erik Zimen , who initiated the renovation of Peterskirchen Castle. In 1992 the ensemble became the property of the Lipinski family, who invested several years in renovation and restoration. It is thanks to her that the valuable frescoes from 1530, which were uncovered by the artist and restorer Ludwig Bäuml , were preserved.

Peterskirchen Castle then and now

On the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the Peterskirchen Castle can be recognized as a simple building covered with a hipped roof, which is surrounded by a wall with small crenellated turrets; this is completely gone today. Behind the palace is the parish church of St. Peter and Paul (an old Sälukar parish from 874).

Today the old pink castle is still a rectangular system with irregular windows and a hipped roof. An entrance or stair tower belongs to the castle. A sundial is attached to the building . The rooms on the lower floor have barrel vaults , those on the upper floor have flat beamed ceilings. The larger eastern half contains two hall-like living rooms, each with a central pillar. A 17 m high fireplace with a large fireplace is remarkable on the upper floor.
