Schechen Castle

Schechen Castle is a former castle and since 1978 the town hall of the Upper Bavarian municipality of Schechen , district of Rosenheim .

history

The first known owner of the Schechen castle estate was Ortlieb der Dorfpekch zu Schechen around 1400 . At that time the castle estate was probably a larger farm . A new building was erected in the second half of the 16th century. The von Dannel family (also Daniel or Tannel) followed as owners, who held the noble seat (later Hofmark ) Schechen from 1419 to 1628 . This was followed by the Schwabach, the Schrenkh and finally the canon Georg Ignaz von Schiestl. The commoner Jakob Krämer (Kramer, Kranner) bought the aristocratic residence on July 27, 1809. Over the next 100 years, the owners changed frequently. On June 13, 1902, the Rotterdam brewer Georg Kaiser bought the property and used the building , which had already been converted into an inn in 1870 . On January 20, 1987, the community of Schechen bought the Schechen Castle from Brigitte Wasum and converted it into the town hall.
