history

Zeilhofen is first mentioned in a document in 1370. Peter Zeilhofer was a judge in Dorfen from 1363 to 1375. Zeilhofen headquarters and castle are mentioned as early as 1553. In 1625 Tobias von Zeilhofen rebuilt the castle. After his death, the seat passed through different hands. In the meantime also to the monastery Seeligenthal. From 1664 Zeilhofen was the residence of the South Tyrolean merchant family Georg Gugler . Georg Gugler is buried in the Antonius Church, which he built with his own financial means in 1666, in the shadow of the high altar. From the end of 1674 Zeilhofen was a closed Hofmark .

St. Antonius, Zeilhofen

On September 11, 1716, the Hofmark Zeilhofen went from Franz Xaver Gugler to the Freising Prince-Bishop Johann Franz von Eckher , i.e. to the Hochstift Freising . In the same year, Johann Endtgrueber, the measurer and palace gardener of the Guglerische Hofmark, was tried by witches. On October 12, 1716, he was sentenced by the Erding nursing court to be strangled on a column and then burned to dust and ashes.

Johann Franz von Eckher also built a Franciscan monastery in 1716 (located next to the church), which was closed in 1802 in the course of secularization and demolished along with the castle. In 1818 the Hofmark was abolished and merged with neighboring areas to form the municipality of Zeilhofen. In the course of the Bavarian territorial reform , she joined the city of Dorfen on May 1, 1978.

Filial church of St. Antonius

The church is an unadorned high baroque building, probably built in 1666 by Hans Kogler , who has a 3-bay nave and a very slightly drawn-in 1-bay choir with a polygonal finish. The onion-crowned church tower rises above the southwestern vestibule. Inside the church is equipped with a late classicist revised baroque high altar, which was re-framed in 1970. The side altars, neo-baroque with classicist borrowings, were made by the Dorfen carpenter Franz Paul Schmitter in 1849. The vault is decorated with discreetly rich stucco from the time it was built.
