Schloss Herrngiersdorf is the building that houses the Schlossbrauerei in Herrngiersdorf, Bavaria, Germany. The brewery has its origins in a 12th-century abbey brewery, and describes itself as the oldest privately owned brewery in the world. The building dates to 1709.
The Schlossbrauerei in Herrngiersdorf is one of the world's oldest private breweries, and may be the oldest. Its origins are in a brewery founded in 1131 by the Benedictine nuns of Geisenfeld Abbey to supply beer to their extensive possessions in the area. It was able to deliver 20,000 litres of beer annually. In 1501 the building located at the top of Mühlberg included a brewery, maltings, mill and blacksmith. Some traces of this building remain today. During the Thirty Years' War the area around Herrngiersdorf was devastated by the Swedes, but the brewery was not damaged.
