Schloss Hohenburg, Baroque palace in Lenggries, Germany

The three-story palace features a hip roof with dragon-shaped waterspouts and two remaining wings that form an enclosed courtyard on the east side.

Count Ferdinand Joseph von Herwarth constructed Schloss Hohenburg between 1712 and 1718 after a fire destroyed the medieval fortress in 1707.

The interior contains numerous frescos, paintings, statues, ornamented pillars, and chandeliers, representing the architectural style of early Baroque period.

The palace currently functions as an educational facility, housing two girls' schools operated by the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising since 1990.

Stones from the original medieval Hohenburg were repurposed for the construction of both the palace and the nearby St. James parish church.
