Mering Castle

The history of the castle begins around 1060. It was originally founded by the Franconian noble family of the Welfs, who built a so-called lowland castle on an island in the Paar. In the 13th century, ownership passed to the noble family of the Wittelsbachs, who used the castle until 1808. Among other things, it was the seat of a care court with administrative tasks. Over the centuries, the castle was repeatedly plundered, burned down and destroyed. In the War of the Spanish Succession, it was completely destroyed down to its outer walls in 1704.

After numerous changes of ownership, in 1843 Edmund Freiherr von Boutteville from Cumiéres/Verdun acquired the castle from its owner, by then the state of Bavaria, including the castle brewery, which had belonged to it since the beginning of the 17th century. In 1939, the area passed by inheritance to the noble family von Grauvogl.
