Gerzen Castle
Gerzen Castle is a castle located in Gerzen in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut. It forms the eastern end of the rectangular layout of Gerzen's market square.
Gerzen (first mentioned in 887 as "Jorcin") is one of the oldest places in the Vils Valley. The town was part of the Duchy of Bavaria and, since 1597, formed a closed Hofmark of the Barons of Vieregg, whose seat was Gerzen Castle. The Renaissance complex of the castle dates from 1562, the Baroque castle chapel from 1695. In 1833, the former Bavarian Minister of State Maximilian Graf von Montgelas acquired the castle. The castle park with its enclosure was laid out in 1903. The Montgelas family lived in the castle until 2009. After extensive renovation work, the Gerzen Castle Restaurant was opened in early 2012.
