Gutshof Stürzer, Architectural heritage monument in Olching, Germany.
Gutshof Stürzer is a protected farmstead located at Dachauer Straße 156 in Olching with traditional Upper Bavarian agricultural architecture. The property consists of several buildings with solid stonework arranged in the typical layout of a working rural estate.
In 1724, Elector Max Emanuel granted Johann Adam Geisler a large area near the Amper and the noble title von Geiselbullach; Geisler built a castle, a park, a chapel and houses for craftsmen. The castle burned down in 1894 and was rebuilt in 1895 to plans by the Munich architects Gebr. Graessel and Krauss. Since 1964 it has belonged to the Stürzer family, who restored it.
The name Geiselbullach combines the court councillor Johann Adam Geisler, ennobled in 1724 as von Geiselbullach, with the old field name "Buelach", probably a beech wood by the Amper. The estate chapel, dedicated to St. John Nepomuk, was painted in finest Rococo by the court painter Johann Adam von Schöpf; its tower was added in 1816 under Alois Sabbadini. The chapel now belongs to the town of Olching and was renovated in 2017.
The estate is located along Dachauer Straße and is easily visible from the street, with a nearby park complementing the surroundings. Visitors should note this is private property and the exterior view from the street provides the best access point.
The monument numbers are D-1-79-142-14 for the castle and D-1-79-142-6 for the chapel, not a single registry number. The grounds also appear in the Bavarian atlas as a buried monument, D-1-7734-0136, for early modern remains beneath the castle, chapel and baroque garden.
