Schloss, Manor house in Altötting, Germany

Schloss Kolberg is a four-story manor house with a rectangular footprint, gabled roof, and tower located in Altötting, Bavaria. The building sits in the landscape between the Mörenbach and Sickenbach streams and is registered as an architectural heritage monument in the region.

Wolfgang Kolberger, born in Altötting around 1444 and chancellor to Duke Georg, acquired the Kolberg estate in 1491 and began building Neukolberg Castle, documented under that name by 1493. Emperor Frederick III made him hereditary imperial baron; after his fall from favour the county ended and the estate passed through families including Loeffelholz, Notthaft and Haunsperger. In 1852 the Englische Fräulein bought it, renamed it Josephsburg and ran a boarding school there for 130 years.

Michael Wening created detailed engravings of the castle in 1721, providing valuable documentation of its architectural features and historical appearance.

The manor house is located in quiet countryside surroundings in the Altötting area and is visible from the outside. Visitors should note that the surrounding area is rural in character and access is via country roads.

Michael Wening documented the building in 1721 with detailed engravings that offer insight into its appearance at that time. These historical images allow visitors to trace the architectural changes that occurred over the centuries.
