history
The conversion to the " Jagdschlösschen " or hunting lodge took place in 1784 under Joseph Konrad von Schroffenberg-Mös , the last prince provost of the prince provost of Berchtesgaden to rule until 1803. Older parts of the building provided the basis for the Wimbachschlössl , so the massive ground floor is dated to the 2nd half of the 17th century. Further extensions to the interior took place from 1850 to 1855 under King Maximilian II , the veranda outside was added around 1900 under Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria . Both rulers also used the Wimbach Castle for hunting.
After their reign, converted into a restaurant with no overnight accommodation, the Wimbach Castle was comprehensively renovated in 2011/2012 for 830,000 euros and an extension was added.
