Schloss Murnau

Schloss Murnau is an early 20th-century building on the outskirts of Murnau am Staffelsee that combines traditional Bavarian and modern design elements. The structure shows typical features of the period and now houses a museum displaying artworks from that era.

The castle was built in the early 1900s as a residence and workspace for artists who brought a fresh artistic perspective to the region. Nazi rule and World War II interrupted its role as a place for artistic activity.

The castle was home to artists who gathered here and found inspiration in the surrounding landscape for their work. You can see how the rooms were arranged and understand the place's role in the Expressionist movement.

The castle is located southwest of Munich and is open to visitors on most days of the week, usually with guided tours through the rooms. Its location near the lake makes it interesting for walks in the surrounding area.

The museum displays a substantial collection of original paintings and drawings showing how deeply the artists were influenced by the nearby Alps and lake. These works help visitors understand how nature shaped this artistic movement.
