Schloss Schönau, Rottal

Schloss Schönau features two residential wings with stepped gables, a seven-story keep, an entrance building, and a fortification tower at the northwest corner.

The castle's initial construction dates to the 15th century by the Berghofer family, with the establishment of a Hofmark confirmed by Duke Albrecht IV in 1506.

The castle grounds include a park designed by Carl von Effner in 1867, incorporating elements inspired by the English Garden in Munich.

The public can access the park area since the 1930s, offering opportunities to observe native and exotic trees including sugar maples and Japanese larches.

Between 1900 and 1903, architect Gabriel von Seidl transformed the structure into a villa in castle style, while maintaining its historical elements.
