Schloss Burgfried, Manor house and archaeological site in Winhöring, Germany
Schloss Burgfried is a manor house with Gothic architectural features located in the Winhöring-Burg area of rural Bavaria. The property includes converted stables and auxiliary buildings arranged in a terraced layout that now function as residential apartments.
Freiherr Max Joseph von Richel ordered the demolition of the original fortification in 1721 and built the present structure on its foundations. This transformation from a military fortification to a residential castle reshaped the character of the place.
The Bartholomäus chapel displays an altar with the Schutzmantelmadonna and reflects the presence of the Trenbeck family who shaped the estate over centuries. Visitors can sense how a single family left its mark on this place through religious art and family monuments.
The property is situated in rural Bavarian countryside and is surrounded by the Bartholomäus chapel nearby. Visitors should be aware that much of the complex now serves as private residential space.
Beneath the castle lie medieval and early modern structures that are registered as archaeological monuments. These hidden layers reveal earlier occupation phases that predate the current building.
