Schloss Gumppenberg, Pöttmes

Pöttmes Castle is located in Pöttmes in the district of Aichach-Friedberg and is a listed building. As a Hofmarkschloss, it was the seat of the closed Hofmark Pöttmes, which had a blood court. From 1279 until the administrative reform in 1818, the manor of Pöttmes was owned by the barons of Gumppenberg. The noble family formerly had its seat on an imposing castle complex on the Gumppenberg northwest of the village, which burned down in July 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession and was never rebuilt.
