Alteglofsheim Castle The name comes from the Eglofsheim family. Since the 10th century there has been a moated castle here with an associated manor. The castle was rebuilt and expanded several times over the centuries. From 1480 to 1573 the Barons of Parsberg owned the castle and manor. In 1659 Johann Georg Baron von Königsfeld bought the Alteglofsheim estate. In 1685 he became an Imperial Count. In his will in 1694 he left the estate to his grandson Hans Georg Graf von Königsfeld. He was the Minister of State and Conference of Elector Karl Albrecht and First Minister during his time as Emperor. From 1728 to 1734 he had the castle significantly expanded and refurbished. His successor Count Christian Johann August von Königsfeld, Elector's ambassador in Vienna, added the north wing of the castle with the magnificent dining room in 1780. In 1810 the Königsfelder family died out. The Barons of Cetto followed as owners, and in 1835 Prince Maximilian Karl von Thurn und Taxis acquired the castle. The Princes of Thurn und Taxis sold it to a priest in 1939, and it later went to his housekeeper. The war and post-war period led to the castle being used for other purposes, and it fell into increasing disrepair. In 1973 the Free State of Bavaria acquired it and made it available to the University of Regensburg in 1980. In 1989 the castle was designated as the location for the third Bavarian Music Academy. Construction work began in 1992. The Music Academy began operations here in June 1999. After extensive renovations and refurbishments the castle was handed over to its new purpose in September 2000. The late Gothic core of the complex with the 35-meter-high keep in the west dates from the beginning of the 14th century. It towers over the high gable of a building with two round flanking towers from the early 17th century. Around 1680, a wing with a two-aisled chapel in the basement was leaning against it in the south. Around 1730, it was extended to the west after the south-north wing had been started at a right angle to it. Elaborate ceiling frescoes by the Asam brothers and elegant stucco ceilings created by Johann Baptist Zimmermann adorn the castle. Tours of the castle are only possible for groups by prior arrangement. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Kirchberg-Hohenthann Castle In a document from Mallersdorf Monastery, a Count Arterius I is mentioned in Kirchberg as early as 812. However, the castle is said to have been founded as a Roman fortress as early as 292 - at a time from which there are no documents or other written evidence. After the Counts of Kirchberg died out in 1234, the county became a district court of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut. The ducal guardian resided in Kirchberg Castle and was responsible for administration and justice in his district. The most important places of the Kirchberg district court, which belonged to the Landshut Revenue Office, were the markets of Pfaffenberg and Geiselhöring. The three-winged complex from the second half of the 15th century was expanded in 1520 and 1569. The castle was destroyed in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504 and the Thirty Years' War in 1632 and then rebuilt in the Baroque style. In 1803, the Kirchberg district court was moved to Pfaffenberg. The castle was purchased in 1807 by a family who used it for agricultural purposes. The castle, now a palace, was purchased and restored by two Munich families in 1978. The owners received the Monument Prize from the Hypo Cultural Foundation Munich for the restoration of the castle in the 1990s. The current complex was built in the 14th century by the Lords of Kirchberg and has a circular brick moat wall. The keep has a base area of 10 by 10.5 meters and a wall thickness of three meters. The castle chapel of St. Leonhard is located in the keep's basement. Source: www.wikipedia.de

The castle is quite pompous, well laid out and very well maintained
