Schloss Seeseiten

Schloss Seeseiten is an architectural heritage monument in Seeshaupt built in the form of a cube with corner turrets and suggested side wings that display strict symmetry. The building shows late classicist forms with carefully balanced proportions and well-composed facade elements.

The estate was built between 1866 and 1867 by architect Georg von Dollmann and became an important part of the local architectural heritage. From 1872 to 1897 it served as the residence of Rudolf Knosp, a co-founder of the BASF corporation.

The estate displays traditional Bavarian aristocratic design with its two-toned exposed brickwork and combination of hipped and gabled roofs. This architectural choice reflected the wealth and social standing of the family who built it.

The castle is located at Seeseiten 11 near Lake Starnberg and functions as a private residence. Visitors can view the property from the outside, but the house itself remains closed to the public.

The surrounding park landscape was designed by court garden director Carl von Effner and forms a natural extension of the building's architecture. This carefully planned greenery shows how the overall composition extended beyond the structure itself.
