If you take the small effort to inform yourself before a visit, you will quickly find that guided tours are offered from various sources, during which the interior of the church can also be visited: 1. On selected Sundays, the parish community offers an open tour at 2:00 p.m. without registration. 2. The Aichach City Museum arranges tours at different times. We were very lucky 🍀 to receive a highly interesting and entertaining presentation of the history of the former castle and the church from an engaged guide full of knowledge on a Friday at 12 noon, which also included a visit to the church.

Beautiful route from Friedberg, little tip, in summer take a break at Raderfsdorfer See, here you can swim or enjoy a snack.

A site worth seeing, which is currently home to 47 adults and 29 children... and has four cars of its own.

The castle was originally a moated castle, two sides of which can still be seen. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded into a four-winged complex. In 1675, the castle was given its baroque appearance. A bay window and a square clock tower with an onion dome were added to the east. The south wing, the gatehouse and the outbuildings were unfortunately demolished. The castle and its park are not open to the public.

The Burgkirche Maria vom Siege (Castle Church Mary of the Victory) is located in the Oberwittelsbach district of Aichach in the Aichach-Friedberg district, Bavaria. It stands on the site of the former ancestral castle of the Wittelsbachs, Wittelsbach Castle, and is an important historical building in the region. History: The origins of the church are closely linked to the history of the Wittelsbachs. After the destruction of Wittelsbach Castle in 1209, the present church was built on its site around 1420. The Gothic brick building was altered and re-equipped in the 17th and 19th centuries. The church served for a long time as a place of pilgrimage and is dedicated to the patronage of "Maria vom Siege" (Mary of the Victory), which is celebrated on October 7. Architecture and furnishings: The church is characterized by its Gothic architecture, which received Baroque elements over the centuries. Inside, it is clearly divided into two parts: The sacred space of the altars is dedicated to the life of Mary, while the nave thematizes the suffering of Christ. Of particular note is the miraculous image in the high altar, a Madonna with the Christ Child, surrounded by musical angels. Current condition and use: The castle church is a historical monument and is entered in the Bavarian list of monuments. For safety reasons, public access is only possible on special occasions and after church services and weddings. However, the surrounding castle grounds are freely accessible at any time and offer an insight into the historical significance of the site. A visit to the Burgkirche Maria vom Siege offers not only an insight into the religious history of the region, but also into the beginnings of the House of Wittelsbach and the development of the Wittelsbacher Land.
