Top 3 Castles around Neuching

"On the west side of the island stands the Chapel of St. Walburga, belonging to the castle. Erching Castle was first documented around 1400, while the associated chapel was mentioned as early as 1315/16. The current castle building was constructed around 1652 under Prince-Bishop Albrecht Sigismund by Hans Moosbrugger as a hunting lodge. The chapel was reconsecrated to St. Walburga in 1672. Even today, the castle and chapel retain much of their appearance from 1699. Until secularization in 1802/3, the castle belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Freising. Finally, in 1898, Josef Selmayr, brickyard owner and the last mayor of the municipality of Bogenhausen before its incorporation into Munich, purchased the castle estate in Erching. The castle has been owned by the Selmayr family ever since, who now operate a farm there." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Erching

The castle is a former moated castle, a rectangular structure with a floor plan of approximately 15 × 20 meters, dating from the second half of the 14th century. The place name was first documented in the time of Bishop Abraham of Freising (957–994), when a document mentioning Odalrih de Nozingun as a witness. The family likely died out in 1261 with Thumhalt von Notzing. In 1347, the ducal tithe was held by Ulrich Fullsnicht, a citizen of Erding, and subsequently by the Muschelried family. Through sales, repurchases, and exchanges, the former 14th-century moated castle came into the possession of Jörg Schrenk, a citizen of Munich and a relative of the Muschelried family, around 1380. He was a member of a patrician Munich councilor and merchant family first documented in 1269. Bartholomäus Schrenck (* 1450; † 1519) was a city representative and councilor of Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria. Until 1519, he ceded Notzing to the wealthy Tyrolean mining family Hofer zu Urfarn. Wolf Hofer completely renovated the castle and is likely the architect of the present village center. Upon entering the ducal Bavarian service during the 16th century, the Schrenk family made the transition from urban bourgeoisie to landed nobility, a process that culminated in 1625. As early as 1408, Michael Schrenck († 1429) had renounced his Munich citizenship and, as a landed lord, became a member of the knighthood in Bavaria-Landshut due to his inherited property in Notzing. In the first half of the 16th century, the family lost its ancestral home in Notzing. Nevertheless, members received confirmation of imperial nobility as Schrenck von Notzing in 1575. In 1528, ownership passed through the female line to Wolf Rosenbusch. The estate passed through marriage to Baron Rauber, who appointed Baron Segesser von Brunegg (1742–1812), a member of a Swiss noble family, as his heir. His daughter Carolina married Baron Jakob von Washington, a major general and royal chamberlain, in 1833. In 1846, the Washingtons sold the property, and around a dozen new owners followed until the castle passed to banker Edgar Ladenburg in 1912. The castle was expropriated by the Nazis in 1939. In 1946, as part of the reparations process, it was returned to the heirs, the Rosewick family from Stuttgart. Building Description
