May 4, 2026, Burgstall and Schloss Hirschling

Schloß Hirschling The castle is a late medieval, Gothic, gable-end, raised, rectangular, three-story saddle roof building with stepped gables, a roof rider and a St. Dionysius castle chapel, renovated in Baroque style around 1750, on the ground floor of the former tower. In 1838, the small roof turret was built. The builders of the castle in the 12th century were the Lords of Heresing (Hirschling). Rudigerus de Heresingni is documented around 1134, and in 1168 a Hertnit de Hergesingen is mentioned. There is a document from Duke Ludwig the Kelheimer of February 7, 1224, concerning the ministerial Konrad von Hirschling selling guardianship rights to the St. Katharina Hospital in Regensburg. Further owners were the Hofer von Lobenstein; the first of these was Chalhoch, who appears as a witness to a donation in 1380. He sold Hirschling Castle in 1416 to the district judge in Burglengenfeld, Stephan Hofer. From 1514 onwards, Albrecht Sinzenhofer is mentioned here. In 1559, Hans von Leublfing, a government councilor in Straubing, acquired the property. In 1565, the Parsbergers followed. In 1697, Hektor von Vischbach, a Swedish chamberlain and major, came into possession of the castle. Jakob Freiherr von Bazendorf acquired the castle in 1696, tore down the old tower and had the castle renovated. A marble slab, depicting the partially fictitious history of the castle in Latin, dates back to him. In 1697, the castle was Baroqueized by Freiherrn Johannes Jakobus and Maria Katharina Elisabeth Sybille von Bazendorf. Joseph Freiherr von Schneid, Lord of Ramspau, bought the castle in 1746. He was followed by the Freiherren von Pfetten (from 1801), in 1932 Eberhardt Hoesch acquired the property, in 1950 a fundamental renovation of the castle took place, which from 1968 came into the possession of the Kettenberger family. The castle is still privately owned today. Source: Wikipedia

The ravine becomes narrower and steeper towards the top. It is a lovely walk.

Parish Church of St. Leonhard The Leonberg parish church stands prominently and unmistakably in the center of the town, not far from the medieval castle and the so-called New Castle from the late 19th century, and forms the heart of the entire village. At the beginning of the 18th century the congregation had once again outgrown the church. In the course of the necessary conversion work between 1721 and 1734, the church received its current appearance. Together with the baroque vicarage from 1713 and the vicarage from 1719, the church forms the historic town center around Leonhardsplatz. The interior of the parish church appears as a high hall with rounded corners and a flat barrel vault with overhanging window reveals, so-called lunettes. Numerous paintings decorate the ceiling of the church, while several sculptures, various paintings, a pulpit and a painted Stations of the Cross with 14 Stations adorn the church interior. The high altar itself dates from around 1780-1795 and consists of a stately structure with a generous shell decoration in the late Rococo style, which is preceded by a lavish tabernacle. Above this rises a wide, gold-framed niche, which accommodates a figure of the church patron Leonhard with the attributes of chains and a Benedictine crosier. Above each of the pillars sits a large worshiping angel with spread wings, the exodus shows itself as an enthroned creator on a cloud. A large lateral figure stands next to the columns. On the left we see John the Evangelist with his attributes of the eagle and the chalice, the figure on the right could be Bernard of Clairvaux. The side altars are made in the style of the high altar and date from the same period. The left side altar shows the late Gothic Madonna as Queen of Heaven from around 1480, the altar extract is the painting "The Heavenly Coronation of Jesus". The right side altar shows the figure of Joseph with the baby Jesus, which probably dates from the middle of the 18th century. Source: Church leader parish of St. Leonhard Leonberg
