Kirchberg Castle
Highlight • 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.
