Burg Schwaneck, castle in Pullach im Isartal, Germany

Burg Schwaneck is a castle on a hillside near Pullach featuring 19th-century architectural styles. The building contains eleven seminar rooms, accommodation for about 130 people, and various outdoor spaces.

Sculptor Ludwig von Schwanthaler built the castle in 1843 as a childhood dream, not to display noble rank; the title Burg reflected the medieval enthusiasm he shared with contemporaries. After his death in 1848 it passed to a cousin's family. In 1863 Karl Mayer von Mayerfels, also medieval-minded, enlarged and rebuilt it; his collection reportedly filled 30 goods wagons when he left.

The name "Burg" is a house name, not a medieval fortress: sculptor Ludwig von Schwanthaler built it from 1843 as a childhood dream and used the Burgfried for lavish parties. Today the Kreisjugendring München-Land runs it as a youth education centre and hostel, together with a nature experience centre forming the Bildungszentrum Burg Schwaneck.

The house sits on the high bank of the Isar at the southern edge of Munich, in Pullach, on Burgweg; the site is reached on foot from the surrounding streets. It is run as a youth hostel and education centre, so seminar rooms and about 130 beds serve school and holiday groups. The elevated position gives a view over the Isar valley to the Alps.

From October 2015 to March 2017 the Landkreis München used the hostel as emergency accommodation for unaccompanied refugee minors; it reopened as a Jugendherberge on 1 July 2017 after conversion work. The building is listed as a Baudenkmal under file number D-1-84-139-3.
