history

At the beginning of the 17th century some counts of Arco (originally from the town of Arco in Trentino-South Tyrol ) emigrated to Bavaria . 1812 they inherited the castle Adelsdorf with a brewery with brewing right since 1671. Already nine years later, she inherited the Castle Valley in the town of Valley , also with a brewery and reaching back to 1630 right to brew beer. In 1854 the name of the Counts of Arco on Valley was increased , which is still reflected in the company name.
