Beautifully designed castle park in Eglofsheim

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

St. Wolfgang's Oak - Neueglofsheim The St. Wolfgang's Oak stands near Schloss Haus, near Neueglofsheim. The oak stands in a meadow next to a dirt road. It is one of the largest oaks in Bavaria. A horizontal branch has been supported by wooden posts towards the dirt road for over 100 years. In 1905, the trunk circumference was 8 m at a height of 1 m. According to legend, Saint Wolfgang preached eloquently from this branch. The monumental trunk is very irregular and has strong growths in the lower area. On one side, the trunk has an oval opening that comes from a branch breaking a long time ago. The oak burned in 1878 and 1909. In 1909, it burned on St. Wolfgang's Day. The crown is formed by a few, quite large branches. Holes can be seen everywhere in the branches, which come from smaller branches that have broken off. The vitality is still quite good considering the relatively old age of the oak. Height: 385 m above sea level Tree species: Pedunculate oak Age: around 500 years Chest height: 9.80 m Waist circumference: 9.03 m Height of the tree: 18 m Crown diameter: 15 m Year of measurements: 2021 Source: www.monumentale-eichen.de
