Top 5 Castles around Obersöchering

Wow, what a great property

The manor house is a castle-like cubic structure with suggested side wings and corner turrets in strictly symmetrical, late-classical forms, two-tone exposed brickwork with flat hipped and gable roofs. It was built in 1866/1867 according to plans by the architect Georg Dollmann,[1] who worked for Ludwig II from 1868 onwards and designed several palace buildings for him. The manor house is located on the shore of the lake amidst a large park landscape, which was first designed by the court garden director Carl von Effner.[6] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Seeseiten

The former country house of Ludwig von der Pfordten was designed by Georg von Dollmann and built in 1866/67.[1] It is one of the largest and most important villas on Lake Starnberg. It was purchased in 1872 by Rudolf Knosp, a Württemberg commercial councillor and co-founder of the "Baden Anilin and Soda Factory" (BASF).[2] Through his daughter, the later Henriette Baroness von Simolin-Bathory (née Knosp), the castle came into the possession of her son Rudolf von Simolin-Bathory. He bequeathed it to his illegitimate daughter Rudolfine von Simolin-Bathory Domeneck, who married Captain Le Tanneux von Saint Paul. Francine Le Tanneux von Saint Paul married August von Finck Jr.;[3][4] thus the property came into the possession of the von Finck family.[5] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Seeseiten

Beautiful private Neuegling Castle

This imposing building was built between 1907 and 1909 in the historicist style and is currently privately owned, so unfortunately it cannot be visited. Over the years, the ownership and use of the castle changed several times: in 1943, the property came into the possession of the Nazi state and was a guest house for the Reich Foreign Ministry; the most prominent guest in 1943 was Benito Mussolini. Briefly owned by the US Army after the war, the castle was taken over by the US government, which set up and operated a seminary of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church there in 1946. Finally, in 1961, the castle came into the possession of the Federal Republic of Germany, which housed a training center for candidates for the senior civil service at the BND there until 2000. After that, the site changed hands several times. Further information about this interesting building can be found on Wikipedia at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hirschberg_am_Haarsee.

The monastery is great, but you should definitely forget about the parish church in the village, which is actually just a few houses away. I was actually even more impressed by it. Since you don't expect anything from it, the amazement is all the greater.

The Christmas market is especially beautiful here.
