history
In 1811, the banker and later baron Johann Jakob von Geymüller acquired the rule of Hollenburg from the imperial camera fund. He had the current castle built on this land between 1812 and 1814. This castle has remained in the family to this day with the current owner Rudolf Geymüller.
Building description
On the western outskirts of the district of Hollenburg, the castle is on the main road, the group of buildings extends on both sides of the road. When the new building began in 1812, the old Freisinger Pflegehof was on the north side of the street, which is why the first buildings were erected on the south side of the street. In the course of the construction of this, an official building was created on the street and two two-story building parts with a single-storey middle section in between. A courtyard was laid out behind them in the south-east and south-west; the latter is closed off by another building in the south. After the care yard on the north side of the street was demolished, the three-story residential building with nine street-side window axes was built there. On the first floor it is connected to a two-story annex building by a covered walkway. Behind the castle there is a large park with a special garden pavilion.
