History

Schloss Hirschbrunn started as a hunting lodge for members of the House of Oettingen.^[1] Construction began around 1600. The castle was built by Peter and Hans Alberthal and was made for Count Gottfried of Oettingen-Oettingen and Wilhelm II, Count of Oettingen-Wallerstein.^[2] The castle was reportedly looted in 1634 after the Battle of Nördlingen. Albert Ernest II, Prince of Oettingen-Oettingen sold the castle to Count Franz Albrecht of Oettingen-Spielberg in the late 17th century. Franz Albrecht had the castle expanded in 1692 and built a Catholic chapel.^[3] The castle served as a school from 1700 to 1846. After World War II it was used as a warehouse.^[1] It was renovated in 1978 and again in 1992.^[4] It is now owned by the House of Oettingen-Spielberg and is not open to the public.
