Hohenried Castle, Architectural heritage monument in Bernried am Starnberger See, Germany.
Hohenried Castle is a white-walled building with several towers set on the shore of Lake Starnberg in Bernried, Bavaria. The grounds around it reach directly to the water's edge and include open-air spaces connected to the interior.
Hohenried Castle was built in the 1930s, a period when several country houses were being constructed along the shores of Lake Starnberg. The building reflects the architectural style that was common in Upper Bavaria at that time.
The castle is a popular choice for weddings and private celebrations, drawing people from across the region to its lakeside setting. Guests attending events there often move between the indoor rooms and the grounds directly facing the water.
A visit is best planned ahead, as the castle operates as a hotel and event venue and is not always open to casual visitors. Those wishing to see the grounds or the lakeside should check access conditions before arriving.
Despite its towers and castle-like appearance, the building is not a medieval structure but a 20th-century construction designed to look like one. This type of historicist architecture was fashionable in Bavaria during the early decades of the 1900s.
