history

The first documentary mention of Leutstetten goes back to around 800. Leutstetten is therefore much older than Starnberg itself, which was first mentioned in a document in 1226. Leutstetten is mentioned as Luicilstat (which means something like "little dwelling") for the first time in a deed of donation from the Abbess Kysilla of the Notre Dame monastery in Soissons .

The Castle Leutstetten is only since 1875 owned by the Wittelsbach Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, so the later King Ludwig III. acquired it on January 20, 1875 from Baron von Walden . The Princess Elizabeth , the future Empress of Austria ( Sissi ) was staying, before their wedding on April 24, 1845 , Emperor Franz Joseph I several times in the castle Leutstetten. However, the engagement of the two did not take place in Leutstetten, as the literature sometimes claims, but in the imperial villa in Bad Ischl .

Ludwig Prince of Bavaria bred the Leutstettener horse , a horse breed threatened with extinction, on his lands from 1945 to 2006 .

The Leutstetten Castle Restaurant (owned by Luitpold Prince of Bavaria ) is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers on their way from Munich to Lake Starnberg, especially in summer. A few meters away is the small church of St. Alto , built in the Romanesque style. Worth seeing in St. Alto is the “Pentecost Altar”, made by an old master towards the end of the 15th century ( Erasmus Grasser or pupil). The wooden plaque from 1643, dedicated to the three holy sisters, is famous in folk circles as it gives the pagan names of the three Bethen : Ainpet, Gberpet, Firpet.

Leutstetten Castle is located a little south of the church. However, a tour of the palace complex and the park is not possible. Diagonally opposite on the road to Wangen is the so-called Samerhof, a two-story, listed saddle roof building that was expanded and expanded in 1908 by the well-known Munich architect Emanuel von Seidl .
