history

The footbridge to the church leads over the former moat

Already in the High Middle Ages there was a manor house in Bieringen, which was sold in 1222 with Bieringen by the Lords of Krautheim to the Schöntal Monastery . Schöntal came into the possession of the Würzburg monastery in the 14th century , who passed the manor on to the Lords of Aschhausen and the Lords of Bieringen as a fiefdom. In 1344 Kurmainz acquired the right to open the castle. In 1592, Hans Georg von Berlichingen zu Schrozberg sold the manor, which had changed hands several times in the 15th and 16th centuries, to Phillip Heinrich and Hans Gottfried von Aschhausen. From these, the Schöntal abbot Sigismund Fichtel bought the manor with the former moated castle in 1631. The moated castle, as it had already fallen into serious disrepair in the 18th century, was replaced by a new, two-story house in 1736 and 1737 on behalf of the Schöntal abbot Angelus Münch. The newly built palace served primarily as a pleasure palace for the abbots of the monastery . Around 1800 the rectory of the parish of St. Kilian was housed in the castle , which is still there today. The economic buildings of the castle were sold to private customers in 1824, in 1857 the approximately three-meter-deep moat, which had been completely preserved until then, was partially filled in and the resulting area was used as a parish garden. In addition, a footbridge was added around 1880 that leads directly from the rectory to the church. At the beginning of the 1980s the rectory was completely renovated, with the roof being repaired, among other things.
