Heitzenhofen Castle In the 15th century, Albrecht von Murach zu Guteneck, judge and administrator of Lengenfeld Castle, is documented as having purchased a mill from the Niedermünster convent. In 1459, Hans Moller bought the estate and fishing rights at Heitzenhofen from the previous owner. With the permission of Dukes Sigmund and Johann, Moller was allowed to build a grinding mill here in 1460. The Moller family had a bridge built over the Naab River in 1563. After the Thirty Years' War, the mill in Heitzenhofen fell into disuse, and iron production was never resumed. In 1668, the estate was acquired by Margareta Maria Elisabeth, Hereditary Marshal of Pappenheim. She sold the property in 1669 to Siegmund Friedrich von Kuchler von Jochenstein. A sawmill was built in Heitzenhofen in 1693. In 1734, the Barons von Strahl became the owners. In 1782, Heitzenhofen came into the possession of the Murach family, specifically Wilhelm Freiherr von Murach, chamberlain to the Elector of Bavaria. Then the Barons von Oberndorf took over the mill and the castle, which had been built in the meantime. After the Oberndorfs, Heitzenhofen was divided and passed into peasant ownership. The Sarfert family are the current owners of Heitzenhofen Castle. The castle is now a three-story, gable-fronted building with a stepped gable. The main building has a steep roof with a stepped gable. An entrance porch features a balcony and a crenellated tower. The core of the building dates back to the Late Middle Ages; it was remodeled in the Neo-Gothic style in 1899. The Heitzenhofen hammer mill was replaced by a grain mill at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, a hydroelectric power plant is used to generate electricity. Next to the plant is the castle chapel of St. Wolfgang. The castle is now a three-story, gable-fronted building with a stepped gable. Today, the Hotel Schloßresidenz Heitzenhofen, run by the Sarfert family, is located here. The Schloßwirtschaft Heitzenhofen restaurant is next door. The complex also includes a hydroelectric power station, the upper floors of which house an art gallery. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de
