Adelmannschloss, Baroque castle in Landshut, Germany

Adelmannschloss is a three-storey Baroque castle with a hipped roof and two turret-like chimneys, built in 1682 in the Berg district of Landshut. Its long side has seven window axes, its short side five, and a brick wall surrounds the castle garden. A copper engraving by Michael Wening from the early 18th century already shows the castle and its enclosure in their present form.

A small fortified house stood here by 1564, owned by Adam Karl Khempinski, judge at Dorfen, and housing servants of Trausnitz Castle. In 1682 the Hofmark Berg passed to Johann Baptist Freiherr von Leyden, who built the present Baroque castle. Through Sophie von Chlingensperg it came to the Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden family in 1837; the city bought it in 1935.

The name comes from the Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden family: Sophie von Chlingensperg married Klemens Graf von Adelmann in 1837, and the widow lived here until her death in 1911. The building later served as an auxiliary hospital from 1940 to 1965 and housed a municipal art museum from 1975.

The castle stands in the Berg district of Landshut, in a garden enclosed by a brick wall. It is a private building, so visits are from outside; the seven-axis long facade and the two chimney turrets are best seen from the street. The site is a listed monument, and the garden wall appears already on Michael Wening's early 18th-century copper engraving.

The brick wall around the castle garden already appears on Michael Wening's copper engraving from the early 18th century, so the enclosure shown today matches the Baroque layout. The building is also recorded as a Bodendenkmal, with presumed predecessor structures beneath the grounds.
