Becken Pond, Wiesenfelden
Highlight • Lake
The first parish register of the diocese, in which Wiesenfelden was mentioned as an independent parish, dates back to 1286. The 15th-century "Gothic" predecessor building had become dilapidated. However, the entire building was not demolished; instead, the choir was skillfully integrated into the new structure by altering the windows and vaulting. The present church was completed in 1764.
Wiesenfelden was a very large parish in 1848, with a population of 2,472. The parish also included the curacy of the "Marian pilgrimage site of Heilbrunn" and the "Zinzenzell branch."
The altarpiece depicts the Assumption of Mary, in reference to the patron saint (= patronage of a saint over a church). The two side altars formerly depicted Saint Barbara and Saint Wendelin; Since around 1920, the left side altar features figures of the Virgin Mary as Patrona Bavariae, and the image of Archangel Michael with the scales of souls is depicted in the excerpt. The right side altar depicts the figure of St. Sebastian, and the excerpt depicts St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus.
The oil painting on the confessional depicts St. Peter, with a life-size cross from the Baroque period above. The front part of the nave is decorated with busts of the four evangelists with their symbols: St. Luke with the bull, St. John with the eagle, St. Mark with the lion, and St. Matthew with the angel. These are Baroque works from the late 17th century.
The depictions of the Stations of the Cross are handcrafted oil paintings from the late 17th century. Of the Gothic interior furnishings, only a statue of the Virgin Mary and the figure of St. Sebastian remain.

Falkenfels Castle
Highlight • Castle
Around 1100, the Counts of Bogen built the castle on the rock that slopes steeply on three sides. From 1232, the Knights of Hohenfels ruled the castle, and from 1400, the Falkensteiners of Falkenfels. In 1331, “Valkenfelss” is mentioned in a copy from the 15th century as a landed estate.
In 1425, the castle came into the possession of the Frauenbergers and remained so until their extinction in 1480. The castle was plundered by the Hussites in 1425 and conquered by troops of Duke Albrecht IV in the Böckler War in 1468. The Frauenbergers were followed by the Paulsdorfers. In the Löwler War, the castle was besieged for a week in 1492 and burned down after the capitulation on June 8, 1492, but was then rebuilt by Hans von Paulsdorf.
In 1525, the property passed to the Seyboltstorffer family through marriage. From 1607 to 1796, the noble family of Barons von Weichs owned Falkenfels Castle. In the Thirty Years' War, the castle was set on fire by the Swedes in 1641, but was then rebuilt.
On April 15, 1796, Josef Maria von Weichs sold Falkenfels and the associated manorial estates to Baron Gabriel von Buchstetten for 320,000 guilders. In 1807, the castle was again burned down, but was rebuilt.
After the end of the Falkenfels manorial estate, the castle economy was destroyed in 1820. In 1821, the Lang family acquired the castle and set up a brewery here, which lasted until 1934. In 1925, a fire destroyed large parts of the complex, after which it was only partially rebuilt. From 1919 to 1950, the castle belonged to the Schimmelmann family. On May 8, 1951, the furniture manufacturer Franz Xaver Baier from Straubing bought the castle and converted it into a hotel with a restaurant. The castle was also increasingly used as a conference and congress building. Since 2001, the castle has belonged to the publisher Udo Sieber.
Falkenfels Castle was originally surrounded by two terraced ring walls, one above the other. Today, the fortifications are only preserved on the north side. Approximately in the middle of the east side is the keep from the 13th century, the battlements are from a later period. The baroque castle chapel of St. Joseph was built in the 17th century on medieval foundations. It contains gravestones of Falkenfels castle lords. The outer areas of Falkenfels Castle are freely accessible, otherwise it serves as a castle hotel and restaurant.
