Schloss Tutzing, Evangelical academy in a castle in Tutzing, Germany

Schloss Tutzing is a castle with classical architecture on the shore of Lake Starnberg, built in a horseshoe shape with an English landscape garden and a large colonnade. The building complex houses multiple structures, gardens, and a music hall that make the ensemble a versatile location for various purposes.

The castle originated from a medieval fortress that underwent fundamental renovation between 1802 and 1816, acquiring its present classical form in the process. In the 1920s, a Hungarian financier made artistic changes to the facades and interiors.

The Evangelical Academy uses the castle today as a venue for discussions on theology, philosophy, and current social issues. Visitors encounter people from different fields who gather to exchange ideas and reflect together.

The grounds are accessible to visitors who wish to see the architectural features and surrounding parkland. Those interested in exploring the interior should inquire about guided tours in advance, as not all areas remain open at all times.

The hall that Marcell Nemes had rebuilt in 1922 with an Italian-style coffered ceiling began life in 1802 as a palm house; it became the castle's festival hall, not a concert hall. Nemes, a Hungarian financier and art collector, also placed his invented coat of arms above the castle gate.
