Schloss Allmannshausen, Heritage château in Berg, Germany
Schloss Allmannshausen is a four-story building with a hipped roof, a belvedere on the roof, a portico and a low wing, its facade designed in the style of the Italian Renaissance. It stands at Assenbucher Straße 101 in the Allmannshausen district of Berg, separated from Lake Starnberg only by the road. The functional interior does not match the elaborate exterior, and a landscape park surrounds the house.
The castle was built in 1696 by master mason Caspar Feichtmayr from Bernried and replaced a wooden manor house that had stood since 1517. In 1881 the building underwent major renovation that expanded it from three to four stories.
The name comes from the Allmannshausen family who once managed the estate. Today, the rooms serve a Christian youth organization that uses the building for group stays and gatherings.
Schloss Allmannshausen stands at Assenbucher Straße 101 in the Allmannshausen district of Berg; only the road separates it from Lake Starnberg. The building is leased by the Free State of Bavaria to the Christian youth organization Wort des Lebens e. V., which runs it as a youth recreation centre, so it is not open to the public as a museum.
The castle is separated from Lake Starnberg only by the road, not built on the shore itself. Since 1948 it has belonged to the Free State of Bavaria, which leases it together with the nearby neo-Romanesque Schloss Seeburg to the Christian youth organisation Wort des Lebens e. V. for youth holiday stays.
