Castle Berg

Berg Castle stands beside Lake Starnberg with four Gothic Revival towers, featuring stone walls and ornate architectural details from the 19th century.

The property became an electoral estate in 1676 when Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria obtained it and transformed the existing structure into a hunting lodge.

The castle represents a significant example of Bavarian Neo-Gothic architecture, designed by Eduard Riedel between 1849 and 1851 for King Maximilian II.

The castle maintains regular visiting hours from April through October, with guided tours available in German and English by advance reservation.

King Ludwig II spent his final days at Berg Castle before his death in Lake Starnberg on June 13, 1886, where a memorial cross marks the location.
