Schlossbrauerei Herrngiersdorf claims to be the oldest privately owned brewery in the world, with origins traced to 1131 when Benedictine nuns of Geisenfeld Abbey established a brewery to supply their holdings in the area. For centuries the brewery paid an annual delivery of 20,000 litres of beer to Geisenfeld Abbey as a form of lease, an arrangement that lasted until the monastery was dissolved during secularisation in 1803. The current brewery building dates to 1709. The Schlossbrauerei is located in Herrngiersdorf in Lower Bavaria and its Schlossbräukeller tavern, built in 1850, occupies the former fermentation and storage cellar.
