Regendorf Castle

Regendorf Castle is mentioned as early as the 13th century as being owned by the Lords of Regeldorf. In 1515, the castle was rebuilt. The Lords of Oberndorff and the Counts Faber-Castell are also named as owners. The current complex with two four-story round towers was completely rebuilt and extended around 1840. At the southwest corner there is a Judenstein (Jew's Stone) with a Hebrew inscription. The tombstone presumably comes from the Regensburg Jewish ghetto and was walled in as a building block by the then owner of the castle, Martin Lerch, after the expulsion of the Jews in 1519 from the destroyed Jewish cemetery. The castle chapel dates from 1688. Until the construction of the Regendorf church in 1907, it was also used as a village church. The current owner, the city of Regensburg, is now offering the castle for sale.
