Schloss Hohenburg, Baroque palace in Lenggries, Germany
Schloss Hohenburg is a three-story Baroque palace with a hip roof and distinctive dragon-shaped waterspouts that mark it from the outside. The two remaining wings form an enclosed courtyard on the east side of the structure.
Count Ferdinand Joseph von Herwarth built the palace between 1712 and 1718 following a fire that destroyed the medieval fortress in 1707. The new construction was part of rebuilding the site after that catastrophe.
The rooms display colorful frescoes and ornamental columns that reflect early Baroque style and remain visible today. Visitors can appreciate the artistic decoration with statues and chandeliers throughout the halls during a tour.
The building is today an educational center with two girls' schools operated by the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising since 1990. Visits can be arranged but require advance arrangement.
Stones from the medieval Hohenburg were reused and went into both the palace construction and the nearby St. James parish church. This material reuse connects the two buildings in an invisible way.
