Schloss Pürkelgut, Baroque château in eastern Regensburg, Germany

The mansion features mansard roofs, corner towers, and a semicircular central projection that exemplifies 18th-century Bavarian architecture.

Built in 1728 for merchant Johann Jakob Pürkel, the structure replaced a medieval farmstead that once supplied food to the Agilolfinger dukes.

The castle earned the nickname 'Sanssouci of Regensburg's Imperial Diet Envoys' due to the aristocratic celebrations held by Johann von Greifenstein.

The château stands empty since 2001 and undergoes renovation work, with scaffolding currently surrounding the building until 2025.

Napoleon sought refuge at Schloss Pürkelgut in 1809 after being wounded before spending the night at Karthaus-Prüll monastery.
