Bruckberg Castle

Bruckberg Castle is a castle located in Bruckberg (Lower Bavaria). The main buildings are an irregular four-wing complex around a narrow courtyard from the 17th century. A keep with a tent roof is situated higher up and is only connected to the main buildings by a wall.

In 880, the later Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia made a donation in Bruckberg, the Villa Berga, to Count Sighart of Ebersberg. In the 11th century, a relative of the noble family of Moosburg-Roning-Rottenburg built a castle. It probably served to protect an Isar crossing mentioned in 1377.

From the 12th to the mid-14th century, the castle was owned by the influential local noble family of Bruckberg, after which the castle frequently changed hands. During the time of Henry the Lion, court sessions were repeatedly held here. The Bruckberg Obmannschaft (local administrative district) was subordinate to the Isareck office in the Moosburg district court during the ducal-electoral Bavarian period. In the Thirty Years' War, Bruckberg was almost completely destroyed by the Swedes. In 1770, a large part of the castle burned down. It was restored shortly thereafter. One of the two moats was drained around 1780.

Since 1826, the Barons of Schacky owned the castle. Today, the castle is owned by the Barons of Korff-Grimm.
