Sulzemoos Castle is located in the south of the municipality of Sulzemoos in the Dachau district . It is a square three-storey three-wing complex, the gable roof of which ends with a stepped gable. The castle park is enclosed by a high wall.

history

The origins of today's castle go back to 1546. At that time, Wiguleus Hundt von Sulzemoos and Lenting had the dilapidated castle, which he acquired from the assets left behind by his late wife, "built from scratch". A woodcut from 1568 shows a one-story building with a gable roof, each of which was decorated with bay windows at the four corners.

In 1643 the castle property came to the Freising Prince-Bishop Veit Adam von Gepeckh , in whose family it remained until 1811. As a result of the War of the Spanish Succession, the building was destroyed on August 2, 1704 and no longer rebuilt in its original old splendor . As a result, the castle, which still looks very massive today, lacks any fine structural design . Around 1900, in the courtyard of the economy, the residence of the castle property manager was rebuilt in the southeast of the castle and soon the castle owner Wolfgang Lorenz von Schaezler had an evangelical chapel built into the castle.

The castle is privately owned and is not open to the public.
