Schloss Adelsheim

Schloss Adelsheim is a three-story château in Berchtesgaden built in the early 17th century with a distinctive hip roof and dormer windows. The structure displays regional building traditions typical of the Alpine landscape with its compact, practical design.

Dean Degenhart Neuchinger built the château in 1614 as a summer residence, after which it passed between the Berchtesgaden chapter and various private owners. The building underwent several phases of different uses before eventually becoming a museum.

The castle served for centuries as a place where local artisans displayed their work and cultural traditions. The rooms reflect the regional craft heritage through their furnishings and decorative elements.

The museum is best accessed Wednesday through Sunday and features exhibitions with regional objects displayed throughout the building. Visitors should expect narrow staircases and low doorways that are typical for a structure of this period.

The château was the final residence of Konrad von Schroffenberg, the last ruling Prince-Provost of Berchtesgaden, who died there in 1803. This historical connection makes the location an important witness to the end of a ruling era in the region.
