Gebelkofen Castle 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. In 1553 it was purchased by Kaspar Lerchenfelder von Straubing and has been privately owned by the Lerchenfelder family 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 floors, hipped roofs and a rectangular courtyard. The medieval castle chapel of St. Barbara on the ground floor of the north wing dates from 1750. The entrance, consisting of two gate pillars with a gable roof, dates from the 18th century.
