Schlossanlage, sog. Altes Schloss in Simmelsdorf

The medieval castle stands with four corner towers, a staircase tower, and a half-hipped roof above its timber-framed upper floor structure.

Built in the 14th century, the castle underwent major renovations in 1830-1841 when architect Leonhard Schmidtner reshaped it in Gothic style.

The Altes Schloss belongs to the von Tucher noble family, who maintain strong connections to the regional brewing traditions of Bavaria.

Access to the castle interior requires advance arrangements through the Simmelsdorf municipality office, as the property remains privately owned.

The structure combines elements of a water castle with manor house features, representing architectural styles from multiple centuries in one complex.
