Schloss Obergimpern

Schloss Obergimpern is a rectangular residential building with three stories and a gabled roof, standing in the town center next to a Protestant church and farm buildings. An English landscape park with mature trees surrounds the property and shapes the overall ensemble.

The building originated from an administrative structure of an older fortress and underwent major expansion between 1765 and 1766 by Johann Nepomuk von Yrsch. In the 19th century, a classical redesign gave it its present-day appearance.

The castle shaped the town's character and shows how the local noble family designed their residence to reflect their status. The classical style of the facade reflects the taste and prosperity of the 19th century.

The castle and its park are accessible from the outside, allowing visitors to view the classical architecture and mature trees. The property is centrally located in town, making it easy to combine with other sites of interest.

The castle has been continuously owned by descendants of the von Yrsch family since the 18th century, making it a rare example of unbroken aristocratic continuity. This long tenure has allowed the property to maintain its original character.
