history

The moated castle was built as a moated castle by the Lords of Gebelkofen. The castle was first mentioned in 1200. At the end of the 14th century it became the property of the Auer von Brennberg family . In 1553 it was bought by Kaspar Lerchenfelder von Straubing and has been in the private ownership of the Lerchenfelder ever since . The castle was damaged in the Thirty Years War , destroyed in the 17th century and rebuilt in 1750. In 1934 a roof fire damaged the castle. In the 1990s, the castle was extensively renovated and now serves as a residential building.

The moated castle is a four-winged pond house with three storeys, hip roofs and a rectangular inner courtyard. The two-story St. Barbara Castle Chapel on the ground floor of the north wing, which is essentially medieval, dates from 1750.
