The abandoned Schernegg Castle was located in the district of the same name in the Lower Bavarian community of Massing in the Rottal-Inn district of Bavaria , directly on the banks of the Bina and not far from Wolfsegg Castle .

history

Schernegg originally belonged to the rule of the Counts of Leonberg and the Gangkofen nursing court that developed from it .

A noble family of Schernegg is proven, but it is doubted whether this has anything to do with the seat and the Sedel zu Schernegg. It seems certain that before 1416 Schernegg and Malling Castle belonged to Conrad Trennbeck . In 1416 the transfer from Schernegg and Malling to Eberwein Atzinger took place via hereditary path . In 1455 an Eglof Atzinger zu Schernegg is mentioned among the nobles in the Eggenfelden court . The Atzingers are registered here from 1470 to 1756. Philipp Apian explicitly referred to Schernegg as “arx” in 1568, which indicates a castle-like fortification. In 1737, Schernegg was given lower jurisdiction for the associated goods and grounds.

Through the marriage of Maria Charlotte, daughter of Franz Nikolaus Freiherrn von Atzinger , with Josef Freiherrn Daddaz de Corsigne around 1756 Schernegg came to this family. On Kaufweg, the Daddaz de Corsigne family sold their Atzing, Malling, Schernegg and Gaßlberg properties to Johann Gabriel von Buchetten in 1789 . He was married to Antonia Daddaz de Corsigne. In 1796 these goods were transferred to Josef Maria Reichsfreiherr von Weichs on the exchange route (cf. Falkenfels Castle ) . In 1814 these goods were sold to Count Portia . The Portian Patrimonial Court Malling contained the court brands Atzing, Malling and Schernegg.

In 1808/1810 Schernegg was part of the tax district of Massing (Wolfsegg) and in 1818 it was classified as a municipality of the Eggenfelden district court. Until 1848 Schernegg belonged to the Malling patrimonial court of Count Portia; this was dissolved on January 9, 1844 because of the reversion of the knightly fief. In 1964 Schernegg was still an independent municipality in the Eggenfelden district. In 1971 Schernegg was merged with Massing.

Schernegg Castle then and now

According to the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, Schernegg is a Niederungsburg secured by a moat . The island-like core plant was slightly elevated. A simple wooden bridge led to the two-story house with stepped gables . The building had bay-like extensions to the east and south and was with a gable roof covered. Outside the complex, rural farm buildings can be seen, probably the Sedelsitz Schernegg.

Between 1740 and 1779 the castle was demolished, the castle island leveled and the moat completely filled. The Sedlhof, known as the court or palace builder, still existed as an agricultural property in the 19th century; the palace itself is no longer recognizable in the original cadastre from 1820. On the other hand, the buildings of the Sedlhof and also the fences and corridor boundaries recorded near Wening can be clearly read in the original cadastre. By means of lidar prospection, a weak, round oval elevation of approx. 60 × 75 m in diameter was found on the parcel, which is likely to be the leveled castle island.
