Schloss Weyhern

Schloss Weyhern is a three-story Baroque château in Egenhofen with a quadrangular courtyard layout and side wings. The structure spans nine by six axes and features a chapel within its southern courtyard section.

The building was constructed in 1720 for Johann Baptist von Ruffini after the original estate was first mentioned in 1190 and suffered damage during the War of Spanish Succession. The classical redesign came later under Karl Ludwig von Lotzbeck in the early 1800s.

The name reflects the von Weyhern family who shaped the property over time. Visitors can still see the classical redesign of the main facade that transformed the building's appearance in the 1800s.

The château is now converted into residential apartments and remains in private use, so interior visits are typically not possible. From the outside, however, the Baroque architecture and classical facade can be clearly observed.

Alfred von Lotzbeck assembled an extensive library and art collection here, with portions now displayed at the Neue Pinakothek in Munich. These works reveal how important the château was as a center for artistic patronage and collecting.
