Schloss Suresnes , also Werneckschlößl called, is a castle in the Munich district of Schwabing .

history

Suresnes Castle was probably built between 1715 and 1718 by Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer based on the example of the Château de Suresnes near Paris for the cabinet secretary Franz von Wilhelm. During the exile of Elector Max Emanuel , Franz von Wilhelm had spent a few months with him in the Château de Suresnes . The owners have changed steadily since 1756, including: Johann Leopold Ignatius Freiherr Manteuffel with his wife Maria Clara, Maria Theresia Caroline Countess von Preysing-Moos , Friedrich Reichsgraf von Vieregg , Ludovica Reichsgräfin von Kesling , the appellate judge Franz Xaver Haslinger and Ferdinand von Döllinger .

After the castle had been neglected since the beginning of the 19th century, Carl August von Steinheil moved into it in 1855 . Later, in 1869 and 1870, Elisabet Ney lived and worked there .

At the end of the 19th century, the castle was a popular meeting place for young artists. In 1918, the painter Hans Reichel moved into a studio apartment in the castle and became friends with Paul Klee , who also had his studio there for three months. Reichel hid the left-wing socialist revolutionary and writer Ernst Toller in his apartment in Suresnes Castle during the Munich Soviet Republic . He had been there since May and was arrested there early in the morning on June 4, 1919 after a denunciation. At the end of the 1940s it was Leo Samberger's last job .

In 1937 the castle was acquired by the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . Since 1967 it has served as a conference center for the Catholic Academy in Bavaria .

Suresnes Castle served as the residence of the Archbishop of Munich and Freising , Reinhard Marx , until the renovation work in the Archbishop's Palace was completed in 2012.
