Schloss Lauterbach, Bavaria

Schloss Lauterbach stands on a moraine hill east of Lauterbach village, featuring four corner towers and a rectangular central structure behind defensive walls.

The estate originated in the 13th century, with the Dachau family occupying it from 1250 to 1437 before ownership transferred to the von Eglofstein family.

The castle includes a chapel and maintains architectural elements that represent the evolution of Bavarian nobility's residential preferences through several centuries.

The monument sits 10 kilometers west of Dachau, accessible via the autobahn connecting Augsburg and Munich, with a dedicated parking area for visitors.

A hexagonal fountain, documented in 1729 illustrations, remains a central feature of the castle grounds, surrounded by woods that grew around the property.
