history

The royal Bavarian post office owner and inn owner Andreas Pellet from Starnberg built a country house with lakeside terraces, a large park, gardening center and orchard on the eastern shore of Lake Starnberg in 1855 .

In the summer of 1864, King Ludwig II rented the villa for his friend Richard Wagner , who drove daily from there to Munich or to Berg Castle .

After the death of Andreas Pellet in 1866, his widow sold the property to the Russian Prince Alexander Bariatinsky, who had the house rebuilt and expanded from 1898 onwards. In 1907 the princely couple built a guest house . When Prince Bariatinsky died in 1912, his widow left the property due to the war in 1914 and the property was confiscated by the state.

Countess Marguerite von Oberndorff was the owner from 1919 to 1930. After that the property stood empty until 1938 , when the pedagogue Elisabeth Hunaeus opened a “seminar for women's education”. During the Second World War the building served as a children's home, later as an educational facility for kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers , as a girls' middle school and as a household school.

In 1967 Elisabeth Hunaeus handed over the property with the approximately 30,000 square meter property to the Bavarian Land Schools Association , which continued the educational establishment under the name Landschulheim Kempfenhausen .

Furnishing

The furnishings of the library in the style of the New Empire from 1907 have been preserved in the villa . Likewise the equipment of the former salon, which was built around 1905.
