history

788 "Ufhusa" was mentioned for the first time: the manor was with the permission of Duke Tassilo III. Donated by Gotahelm to Mondsee Monastery .

The main features of today's castle were built in 1596, expanded around 1720 as a three-storey, cubic castle with a mansard roof and supplemented by the St. Magdalena castle chapel, probably by Hans Kogler . In 1760 the chapel was redesigned by Johann Baptist Lethner .

From 1774 Schloss Aufhausen belonged to Count Max von Preysing , who sold it in 1817 to the later ennobled attorney Michael Nikolaus Ludwig von Auer (1777–1835), father of the politicians Adolf von Auer (1831–1916) and Julius von Auer (1832–1915) . When they were ennobled, the family, derived from the castle, assumed the title of Auer von Aufhausen in 1832 . The eldest son and member of the state parliament Max von Auer (1821–1881) inherited the property in 1835, when his father died. His widow sold the property to the banker Christoph Robert von Froelich in 1883. In 1883 he brought his Augsburg bank into the new Bayerische Vereinsbank and became its first chairman. Four-sided farm buildings were added at the end of the 19th century. A historic bowling alley from 1897 has been preserved.

In 1983 Friederun Baroness von Hammerstein inherited the property and renovated the castle and the outbuildings together with her husband Alexander. Some rooms, the castle chapel and the historic bowling alley can be rented for events.
