Köfering Castle The first moated castle on the Pfatter was probably built in the 12th century. The Köfering family was first mentioned in the middle of the 12th century. Around 1300, the castle was owned by Eckprecht von Haidau, who gave it to the Bishopric of Regensburg in 1307 in order to receive it as a fief from the bishop. Other owners of the castle were Otto Zenger, Albrecht von Abensberg, Heinrich Nothaft von Mangolding and Scheuer. In 1427, Dietrich von Stauf took over the castle in Köfering by exchange. On December 26, 1491, the Köfering fortress was besieged and destroyed by the Bavarian Duke Albrecht IV with 1,000 soldiers during the Löwler League uprising, in which the castle owner Hieronymus von Stauf took part. The Counts of Lerchenfeld have owned the moated castle since 1569. The castle was damaged in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt in its current form from 1680 to 1720. Renovation began in 1980/81. The moated castle is an irregular, baroque, three-storey three-wing complex with mansard hipped roofs, an entrance projection with portal, ground floor arcades and a staircase with a mansard hipped roof. The White Hall with inlaid parquet and the chapel are worth seeing. The castle complex consists of a central projection, to which only a north wing is connected. To the west there is another wing with protruding corner projections, and to the south the one-storey former stable building is attached. A three-arched stone bridge leads over the walled moat, which is still preserved, and is the only access to the castle. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de
