Hallo everybody,
I´m the owner of that castle.
Maybe five years ago a men for US was here, told me his name is hoellrich and wanted some help.
He wanted to see in the old books from the 16th. and 17th.century were every minister at every church noted the birth,marrige and death of every person living whithin his district.
It took us some day to go through all the books, but we couth´t find a hint about his ancestores. Didn´t hear form him till then.
Anyway, it is a dream for us, to live here whithin the old walls even so, we have to work quiet hard sometimes to get/keep the whole place in order. If somebody is out there who want to stay for some weeks here and help us to renovate this beatiful place, we would say “very willcome”.
In case somebody wants to get more info about the castle, please feel free to write to ” verlagsserviceherr@vr-web.de
By the way, I would like to say hello to Axel!!

I lived for some time in Steinbach near Lohr a.M. which isn’t far from Holrich, which has always been one of my favorite castles. I first saw it in the late 80′s and even met some of the remaining Thungens who were living in another little water castle nearby. I last saw it maybe 3 years ago. I’m afraid it’s fallen into even more disrepair, with a large part of the roof falling in. I hope they find the funds for a proper renovation, as it is such a fine example of this type of schloss.

I am embarrassed to admit that I never read this posting! How can that be? I was awarded “the most frequent visitor/contributor” trophy. This is quite interesting. Your last name is pretty cool. It is appropriate that your ancestors should have a castle even though you never inherited it.

ps:auf http://www.vgem-gemuenden.de/html/ortsteil_hollrich_.html you can read also sth about höllrich,but i donßt think höllrich and your last name have one same point in history.

Hi,
my ancestors are just down the road from Hollrich, as a matter of fact on visits to our family town of Obereschenbach we pass the village on Rt.B27. You may be interested in this website http://pdomes.pirando.com/main20.html entitled the Reussenburg Observer. There is also mention of Hollrich at http://www.taskforcebaum.de/documents/baum/notes.html. I will ask my cousin in Germany if he can help with any info. on Hollrich. I think it is one of his stops on weekend bike rides.

Dear Sirs,
not the castle but the mobiles inside have been sold to Berlin National Museum, they say.
As I am real estate seller of the actual private owner, i got to know about the castle and the place�s name. It comes from a bush actually called “Holunder” , or double- l, “Hollunder” in former times or dialect called “H�llerich”. Maybe this information helps You on.
The private man, a certain Mr. Herr tries hard to fight against the castle�s decline, damage, vanish. So we try to find investors to raise flats on the ground and rebuild the houses in a modern way.
You could try to use the www. behind-the- name.com or so to find out more about Your name.
With best regards: Alfons Scheuplein
