Weyhern Castle
Weyhern Castle is a four-winged, essentially baroque complex in Weyhern , a district of the Upper Bavarian municipality of Egenhofen . In its current version, it was rebuilt in 1826 for the Freiherr von Lotzbeck by Jean Baptiste Métivier .
The castle is surrounded by a small English-style park , which has housed a monument to Karl Ludwig von Lotzbeck since 1859 .
The wall paintings by Joseph Schwarzmann and his assistant Andreas Edmeyer, the interior decoration by Friedrich Bürklein , the palace chapel and the four-winged building as a dominant baroque complex are worth seeing .
In 1983, on the initiative of the artist Franz E. Schilke, the castle was converted into a "condominium" with condominiums .
The castle and the associated complex were the main filming location for Reiner Erler's mini science fiction series Das Blaue Palais, broadcast on ZDF in 1974 and 1976 .
About 500 meters northeast of the castle complex is the former castle brewery and a summer cellar in a small wooded area between Egenburg, Egenhofen and Weyhern. The building has not been used for many decades and has fallen into disrepair. The house was probably built in the 18th or 19th century. It is a two-story plastered building with a gable roof and dormers. The entire property has a tunnel and a basement. The Weyhern Castle Field Chapel is located about 80 meters south of the dilapidated brewery building .
