Wasserschloss Taufkirchen The Wasserschloss Taufkirchen is a moated castle in Taufkirchen ( Vils ) , Bavaria . History . A noble family named Taufkirchen is recorded as living in the town in the 11th century . Gerhard von Taufkirchen is mentioned in documents from 1140 . The first mention of the castle and parish in one document dates to 1263 , describing a dispute between Bishop Conrad II , Count of Wittelsbach , and Grimold von Taufkirchen over the rights to occupy the Taufkirchen , described as iuxta castellum eius ( near the castle ) . Later the Lords of Fraunberg owned the Castle , then from 1554-1672 it was the property of the Fuggers . This family expanded the original building , and added a chapel . The altar has the Fugger coat of arms . The castle then passed to the Barons of Puech , who brought wealth into the town . Following that the castle went through various ups and downs . In the last half of the 20th century it was the property of the government of Upper Bavaria . Until 1998 the castles rooms were used for patients of the district hospital , while separate buildings in the castle park were used for patients of the psychiatric hospital . The Friends of Taufkirchen Castle ( Förderverein Schloss Taufkirchen ) association was founded in 1997 with the goal of preserving the historical landmark .
