A castle, a tree educational path, and a charming country chapel The first documented mention of Amerang Castle dates back to 1072. The present stately building gained its Mediterranean touch in the 16th century from Hanns Warmund von der Leiter. The "von der Leiter" family were the northern Italian noble Scaliger family – they translated their name into German after being defeated by the Viscontis and emigrating to Bavaria. Today, the largest Renaissance arcade courtyard in the Alpine region invites visitors to the castle, especially during one of the magnificent concerts held here every summer.
