The Graf Seyssel d'Aixsche Schlösschen is located in Augsburg-Göggingen . It is named after the noble family von Seyssel d'Aix, who came from Savoy and came to Bavaria in the 18th century . It is part of the park of the former Bühler garden estate , which also includes the Römerturm garden pavilion .

history

Around 1650 Daniel Buroner had a stately country house built in a large park at the gates of Augsburg, which was expanded in 1705. Around 1750, under Auxiliary Bishop Johann Jacob von Mayr (1677–1749), a new building was built on a hillside. In the years 1786 to 1788, this received facade decorations in a classical style. The interior was designed by Peter Paul von Ritsch , the architectural design presumably by Johann Martin Pentenrieder . Major structural changes were made around 1870/80. Shortly before 1900, Count Edgar von Seyssel d'Aix (1868–1939) acquired the area.

Building description

The listed castle is a three-storey hipped mansard roof building with a two-storey extension in the south and a classical stucco structure of the facade. There are also ancillary buildings ( coach house , stable, laundry room ) and a pavilion on the site . It is a brick rotunda with access on the upper floor and a flat conical roof. The tea pavilion is a pentagonal wooden structure with a tent roof that was built around 1830/40. To the north on the street side, the castle and the park, which is now protected by natural law, are surrounded by a high wall. Lions, probably from the 18th century, are enthroned on the pillars of the courtyard entrance.
