Discover Notzing: Chapel, Castle and Pond

Notzing brings together Baroque religious architecture, medieval local history and the Notzinger Weiher pond with a landscape perspective. As you explore the village, you can take in distinctive architectural styles as well as the water and cycling ideas. This mix makes a difference when planning your trip: a culture-focused stay in Notzing has different priorities from a day when an optional swimming stop on a cycling tour takes centre stage.

The Chapel and the Castle’s History

The Notzing Trinity Chapel stands on a hill northwest of the village. Dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, it dates from 1680. Its graceful Baroque central-plan design features apses and a small onion dome. A central-plan building is designed around a central point; the apses shape the building’s form, while the onion dome adds a striking detail to its silhouette. This makes the chapel a tangible point of interest if you are interested in religious architecture.

The castle’s history offers a different perspective. The moated castle in Notzing represents the village’s cultural and social development in the Middle Ages. Notzing Castle is an interesting building with a stepped gable and a small tower. Notzing Castle is privately owned. If you are planning a visit, check in advance whether visits are possible.

Pond, Landscape and Cycling Tour

The “Notzinger Weiher and Surroundings” landscape conservation area currently covers 118.99 hectares in the district of Erding. Notzinger Weiher is one of the other bathing ponds in the district that are monitored according to criteria modelled on the Bavarian Bathing Water Ordinance. Another way to include the pond in your plans is the 2024 cycling tour “Around the Airport – Return from the Visitor Park to Poing”: it includes an optional swimming stop there. Swimming conditions depend on the season; check the current situation before planning the stop. If you are travelling with family, you can weigh up whether the swimming stop complements your cycling plans or whether you would rather focus on architecture and local history.

Culture and Cycling Ideas in the Broader Destination of Oberding

The broader destination of Oberding also offers its own historical and cultural themes. Oberding, or its predecessor settlement Dieng, was first mentioned in a document in 750 AD. St. George’s Church in Oberding is described as an art-historically significant church with Baroque and Rococo furnishings. For cyclists, the “Ring of the Regions” cycling route passes through the airport and Oberding on its way back to Erding. Another cycling idea is SkulpTour III: the tour takes you past wooden sculptures created in the summer of 2017 at the third and final International Woodcarving Symposium in Oberding.

Choose the Right Focus

If you would also like to include Oberding’s cultural and cycling themes, consider them as a separate part of your trip planning. This way, you can tailor your search for accommodation in Notzing to the kind of stay you want.
