Laimer Schlössl, Architectural heritage monument in Laim, Munich, Germany.
Laimer Schlössl is a two-story castle building distinguished by seven decorative dormer windows topped with triangular gables that create visual rhythm on the roofline. The structure features symmetrical window arrangements and sits within a private park setting that is not open to the public.
Elector Max Emanuel acquired the property in 1715 and converted it into a residential castle with a substantial park. In the 1900s, architect Theodor Fischer undertook major renovations that gave the building its distinctive dormer windows.
The building takes its name from the Laim family, who lived in the area for generations and shaped the neighborhood. Today it stands as one of several historical landmarks that visitors can encounter while exploring this district.
The castle sits on Agnes-Bernauer-Straße and is visible from the street, though the park grounds are not open to visitors. The exterior architecture and roofline details are best viewed from the street, where you can appreciate the design without gaining property access.
The building fell into disrepair during the 1930s before interventions secured its future. These cycles of decline and restoration have become part of the castle's story and shape how visitors understand its place in the neighborhood today.
