Seeholzen Castle

Seeholzen Castle was the seat of the former royal lords of Graefelfing , a few kilometers southwest of Munich . It was located on a peninsula in the Würm on today's Pasinger Strasse .

history

The aristocratic seat was first mentioned in a document in 1116 . A brother of Otto I (Bavaria) , Count Palatine Friedrich , exchanged it for possessions in Pasing .

Pronotar Hanns Rissheimer and a Ramung family are known as other owners . In 1643 Seeholzen Castle passed to the Counts of Hörwarth , who unite it with the Hofmark Planegg . The structure of the building must have suffered a lot during the Thirty Years War . The copperplate engraver Michael Wening reported in 1701: "... the little castle has not yet been finished during enemy times" . The construction was probably canceled a little later, but the agricultural buildings were preserved as the Wandelhammer-Hof .

The last owner of this farm and 2nd mayor Josef Weinbuch bequeathed the property to the municipality of Gräfelfing. In his last will, he made an obligation to build a retirement home ( St. Gisela ) at this point and to make the area accessible as a public park.
