Schloss Seeseiten, Architectural heritage monument in Seeshaupt, Germany.
Schloss Seeseiten is an architectural heritage monument in Seeshaupt, Bavaria, built as a cube-shaped block with corner turrets and suggested side wings arranged in strict symmetry. The facade follows late classicist forms with balanced proportions and an evenly composed exterior.
The estate was built in 1866 and 1867 by architect Georg von Dollmann, who is also known for his work on buildings connected to King Ludwig II. From 1872 to 1897 it was the home of Rudolf Knosp, one of the co-founders of BASF.
The house shows a two-toned exposed brick facade combined with a mix of hipped and gabled roofs, a style common to Bavarian country estates of the 19th century. Walking past it today, you can still see how carefully the facade and roofline were matched to each other.
The property sits at Seeseiten 11 in Seeshaupt, a short distance from Lake Starnberg, and is a private residence not open to visitors. The exterior can be seen from the road or path nearby.
The park surrounding the house was laid out by Carl von Effner, the court garden director who also shaped the English Garden in Munich. The building and its grounds were planned together as a single composition from the start.
