Schloss Poxau, Palace with pentagonal courtyard in Marklkofen, Germany.

Three-story gabled buildings surround a central pentagonal courtyard, with the Catholic Chapel of St. Karl Borromäus located in the southeastern section.

The estate, originally constructed in the 12th century by the Herren von Poxau family, underwent major reconstruction in 1710 under Adam Lorenz Freiherr von Alt.

From 1857 to 2006, the palace served as a monastery for Poor School Sisters, contributing to the religious education in Bavaria.

The palace functions as a civil registry office for weddings, offering ceremonies on specific Saturdays from April through October between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

The structure contains preserved architectural elements from the first half of the 16th century in its northwestern section, displaying German building techniques.
