history

The castle on an engraving by Michael Wening around 1700

The pond in front of the building is probably the remainder of a moat around a medieval moated castle , the presumably previous manorial property. In 1567 a Hofmark seat was mentioned here. The current building was built between 1690 and 1698 under the court ruler Dominikus Carl von Widmann. In 1838 the castle was acquired by Duke Max in Bavaria together with an estate and the brewery in Kühbach , the castle in Unterwittelsbach and the Hofmark in Motzenhofen . In 1862 Duke Max sold the castle to Baron Joseph Anton von Beck , whose family still owns it today. From 1906 to 1953 the building was used as a school building. After several renovations, it is now used again for residential purposes.

Building description

The free-standing castle, visible from afar, is a two-storey gable roof building with a baroque curved gable and two elevator hatches. Today's simple rectangular building with five by three axes no longer has dormers or oriel turrets, as they were still visible on the copper engraving around 1700. A uniform window construction is only given today on the curved gable side. The stucco frame on the upper floor with a Widmann coat of arms is marked 1694.
