Schloss Birlinghoven
Schloss Birlinghoven, Research center in Sankt Augustin, Germany.
Schloss Birlinghoven sits on a hilltop at 146.7 meters elevation within the Birlinghoven Forest, one kilometer west of Sankt Augustin's district of Birlinghoven.
The castle was built between 1901 and 1903 following architect Edwin Crones' design for the Rautenstrauch family, who established a landscape park on the grounds.
The property transformed from a private mansion to a military facility during World War II, later becoming a recreation center for British officers' families.
The castle now operates as part of the Fraunhofer Institute Centre, hosting research facilities and the Lamarr Institute within its historical walls.
In 1959, Deutsche Shell AG established its fundamental research institute on the grounds before the property transferred to German federal ownership in 1968.
