The castle is now a small idyll, with a beer garden, craft workshops, solidarity agriculture, an art and culture association and an association for sustainable development (according to Wikipedia ...)

The Schlossgut Blumenthal, a remarkable complex with a brewery building and the baroque castle chapel of St. Mary, dates back to the Teutonic Order. Today, the renovated castle complex houses a hotel, conference and event rooms, as well as restaurants, a solidarity farm with a farm shop and a cheese dairy.

The Teutonic Knights likely acquired the manor of Blumenthal around 1254 and managed it through a commandery. It was first documented in 1296 under the name "Blümenthal." Even at this early stage, Blumenthal received lower jurisdiction from the Duke of Bavaria. It initially served as a commandery (leading commandery) of the Order within the Franconian bailiwick of the Teutonic Order, and after the Aichach commandery was abandoned in 1396, it became the headquarters of the commanders (heads of the commandery). In 1405, the castle received the right to operate a tavern from Duke Stephen III of Bavaria-Ingolstadt.
