Leonberg Castle
Highlight • Castle
Leonberg Castle
The castle is located at the highest point of Leonberg and is therefore visible from afar. The castle was strategically designed and from it a view over the surrounding area was possible.
The "liemperc" castle was probably built by a family of the same name in the 13th century. It is not known whether they were ministeriales or nobles and to whom they were indebted. The visible buildings come from later times and were probably built in the 14th century. The castle itself is mentioned in 1378, when the Hofer gave the "Veste" to the Losnitz. The people of Gnändorf are said to have used it around 1400 as a starting point for raids and ransom demands from Regensburg merchants. 1422 comes with the Sinzenhofers again more stability.
Leonberg was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, but later rebuilt.
However, the castle itself has long since been abandoned, and the nobility reside in their more comfortable and larger Hofmark residences in Pirkensee and Fischbach. The administration of the Hofmark initially remains in Leonberg. In 1797 the von Eckart family took over the rule and in 1890 built a new castle in the village, where family members still live today. The "Old Castle" goes to private individuals who build heavily over the complex. Today there are 7 owners, some of whom still live there themselves.
An irregular structure from the 14th and 16th centuries has survived from the castle, with a tower with a gable roof, stepped gables and a pediment on the north side. Two residential buildings are attached to this tower. The Veste once had four round towers, of which only two are partially recognizable today. The formerly mighty enclosing wall and the moat can only be guessed at. The south-west ring of walls is now integrated into the residential building.

Edlhausen Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
St. Theresia Chapel
The Munich master baker Franz Xaver Gruber had the St. Theresia Chapel built in Edlhausen in 1929/30 according to the plans of the Munich architect Johann Woock, which he dedicated to the memory of all members of his family who had died since 1799. It was consecrated on June 9, 1930.
In its austerity and departure from historical architectural styles and Art Nouveau, the Edelhausen Chapel can be attributed to the so-called Heimatstil of the late 1920s. A simple, two-axis gable roof structure with a three-sided end supports an eight-sided roof turret with a bell-shaped hood. Four concrete pillars with large-format stone aggregates support the roof of the forecourt.
At the door you notice one of the most original features of the chapel, namely the handles in the shape of two praying angels. The two-winged portal with diamond-shaped glazing has a crescent-shaped glazing whose decorative grille forms the Christian symbols of cross, ship and anchor in addition to the year 1930 and the name of the patron saint, including the image of St. Theresa on the gable triangle.
A planked beam ceiling spans the room, which is illuminated by four rectangular windows on the long sides and two high oval bull's eyes on the sloping sides. The four large windows bear depictions of Saints Notburga and Elisabeth, Leonhard and Florian, whose angularity is also typical of works from the late 1920s. The oval windows fill the Marian monogram and the IHS (Jesus Savior Blessed).
The center of the room is a wide altar table that fills the entire apse, the three-sided nature of which determines the end of the room. The retable is a rectangular box with a copy of the Würzburg Madonna by Tilmann Riemenschneider. A painted curtain in baroque style forms the frame. The unpainted figures on either side of the altar represent the church's patron saint Theresa and St. George.

Regendorf Castle

Regendorf Castle
The Lords of Regendorf, initially referred to as "Lords of Regeldorf", were first mentioned at the beginning of the 13th century. In 1490, Hans Regeldorfer of Regeldorf and Wolfsegg is entered in the Land Register. In 1475, he appears in the entourage of Duke Ludwig IX at the Landshut wedding. Hans Regeldorfer was married twice, he left behind two daughters and no male descendants, and so Regendorf passed into other hands as a male fief after his death.
In 1515, the castle was rebuilt for the then owner, the Regensburg Imperial Mint Master Martin Lerch. He had to have a crucifixion group erected for the manslaughter of a mint clerk in 1513. This is now in the apse of the Minorite Church in Regensburg.
In 1699, Franziska Adelheid von Braittenburg sold the Regendorf castle and manor to Philipp Anton Leopold Freiherr von Oberndorff, who came from the Upper Palatinate line of the Oberndorff family. They rebuilt the castle around 1840 and added a floor. In 1884, Regendorf Castle was sold to the Imperial Councilor Freiherr von Faber in Stein near Nuremberg and later to the Counts of Faber-Castell. In 1916, it was purchased from them by the royal Bavarian treasurer Eduard von Harnier. As the von Harnier family was known to the National Socialist authorities as anti-National Socialists, they had to vacate the castle in 1936 and sell it to the city of Regensburg.
Regendorf Castle is a complex dating back to 1515 and consists of two parallel wings that are connected in the middle by an intermediate building. The main building is a three-story hipped roof building with an H-shaped floor plan. The eastern wing has two four-storey round towers and a garden staircase. The castle chapel at the north end of the east wing dates from 1688.
The former stables are a two-storey stable barn with a half-hipped roof from 1830. Remains of the terraced landscape garden with staircase from the 18th century can be found to the west of the castle. The park enclosure, with a fence to the south, otherwise a stone wall with stone pillars, dates from around 1840.

Regental Cycle Path Between Benhof and Regendorf
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
Nice section of the Regental cycle path between Benhof and Regendorf. The bike path was partly asphalted as part of a renovation (2019). I would not recommend switching to the street (as described by eBlitz), there it is sometimes confusing and cars drive past you at a close distance

Regen Riverside
Highlight • River
Nice longer way along the river "Regen" for hiking, jogging, cycling or walking. Many small bathing areas invite you to linger, bathe, sunbathe or "water" your dog. Good public transport connections, a few free parking spaces along the shore. Bathing shoes recommended, since pebbly beach.
