Kröblitz Castle The origins of the Kröblitz castle and manor date back to around the year 1000. A large defensive structure must have existed on the cellars that still exist. The old castle or palace complex was built on a small promontory on the Schwarzach and was surrounded by the Schwarzach to the east and south. Georg the Prackendorfer is named as the first lord of the castle in Kröblitz in 1255; the manor was awarded to him by the emperor for his services in the crusade. He was followed in 1304 by his brother Heinrich the Prackendorfer, who fought from 1264 to 1268 on the side of the emperor Rudolf of Habsburg against the bishop of Basel, Heinrich of Neuenburg. Kröblitz is mentioned for the first time as an iron hammer in 1423, owned by Mertel Walzer. On April 17, 1517, Elector Ludwig V and Count Palatine Friedrich issued a hammer certificate in favor of Lorenz Heber. The Heber family owned the hammer until 1581. From May 19, 1581, Hans Manner, later Hanns Sannter, is named as the hammer master. After the Thirty Years' War, around 1650, the Kröblitz iron hammer was desolate and burned down. In 1716, Baron Kaspar von Wildenau bought the land and built the baroque castle that still exists today, which was completed in 1735. In 1743, the attached chapel was consecrated in honor of Saint Nepomuk. Baron Michael Franz von Wildenau, who had taken over the land from his parents in 1751, bought the Kröblitz hammer together with the associated flour and sawmill, and a brewery was added in 1773. In 1782, the Kröblitz castle estate and hammer passed from Baron von Wildenau to Willhelm Freiherr von Weinbach for 27,000 guilders. As late as 1870, there was a charcoal blast furnace in Kröblitz, one of the few private smelters in the Upper Palatinate at that time. Iron ore from the Erzberg in Amberg was smelted here and processed into semi-finished products such as rail and bar iron. The smelter was later converted into a mirror grinding and polishing plant. Today, a small power plant stands here. In 1886, Johann Hofmann from Nabburg acquired the remaining Kröblitz estate with the castle, and it has been in the family ever since. The names changed through marriage from Hofmann to Sinzger to Grimm. In 1973, the property was completely renovated and guests have been entertained in the castle walls ever since.

From the terrace you have a beautiful view of the lake. The restaurant has a particularly good pasta selection. Since it is right next to the campsite, it is always busy. It's hard to get a spot on sunny days.

The Theatron can be found directly on the shore of Lake Murn. Especially designed as an amphitheater with stone terraces and with a sandy beach and palm trees, it almost has a maritime feeling. There are also freshly mixed cocktails at the beach bar and delicious pizza, pasta and salads in the restaurant.
