[1] The castle lies on the southwestern edge of a large landscaped area with a stream, pond, picturesque bridges and boat house.

An Orangery built in 1830 with old Bohemian etched glass panels was used to preserve delicate plants in the winter.

There is a grotto among the trees built in the 19th century by the Countess of Boullion, great-grandmother of present Baron, dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.

Recently plans were made to renovate the building to contain a swimming pool, changing rooms and sauna, and two guest apartments.

[1] In 1682 Johann Baptist Freiherr von Leyden built a schloss on the same site, which is depicted in an engraving by Michael Wening from around 1700.

He became a minister of the Bavarian state, and was involved in arranging the secret Treaty of 1805 in which Maximilian I Joseph became king of Bavaria.

[1] In 1816 the Graf von Gravenreuth used money that Napoleon had given him in compensation for his lost properties in France to purchase the Affing hofmark.

Gravenreuth renovated the building, expanded the brewery and built a brick factory and a nursery to bring in revenue.

[3] There were no significant structural changes until 16 October 1927, when the castle was destroyed by a major fire, probably due to a faulty fireplace.
