History and layout

In 1517, today's castle is named as the Hofmark seat with a wooden mansion. In the 17th century it belonged to the Counts of Hörwarth , Augsburg patricians, who bought it in 1611. The existing castle was built in 1696 by master mason Caspar Feichtmayr the Elder . Ä. from Bernried as a three-storey building with a gable roof for Ferdinand Joseph von Hörwarth. In 1881 it was expanded to four storeys, a hipped roof, a belvedere on the roof, a portico and a low wing structure. The facade was designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance . The functional interior does not correspond with the lavish exterior. A landscape park is located around the castle.

The castle remained in the possession of the von Hörwarth family until 1800, then it came to the Rambaldi and in 1880 to the chemical entrepreneur Christoph Heinrich Boehringer , but through the marriage of his daughter back to the Rambaldi and, after their male line died out, to the Nagel zu Aichberg , who had to give up in the time of National Socialism. Since 1948 the castle has belonged to the Free State of Bavaria , which leased it together with the neo-Romanesque castle Seeburg a little south to the Christian youth organization Wort des Lebens eV, which uses it as a youth leisure center.

The castle is protected as an architectural monument (No. D-1-88-113-18).
