The former hilltop castle was first mentioned in documents as early as 1314. The keep still exists from the medieval period, and the castle was built in its current form and design from around 1730. The Thurn und Taxis family then bought the castle property in 1837. The castle was used by the family as a hunting lodge and then passed into the possession of the current owners in 2008, who extensively and skilfully renovated the property. In 2009, Schloss Haus was honored with the Monument Protection Award. The castle consists of an imposing four-winged complex centered around a 700 m² courtyard.
You reach the courtyard through a mighty gate at the end of the private driveway. The impressive main building of the castle complex closes off the courtyard to the south-west. The inner courtyard forms the atrium and is also the perfect location for parties and festive receptions. Connected to this is the north-west wing, which contains the castle chapel and the kitchen wing. The northeast wing is formed by the so-called ‘Kavaliersgebäude’, where the horse stables used to be located. The courtyard is closed off further to the southeast by a so-called ‘walkway’, which connects the cavalier building and the castle. The former wash house has been converted into a wellness and spa area with a sauna and dance studio. A summer cellar offers further potential for expansion.
The extensive castle park with approx. 6.5 hectares and impressive botany rounds off the ensemble perfectly with its old trees.
With its 34 rooms, the many high and bright rooms, some of which have bay windows, the vaulted ceilings, the original wooden floors and the many historical details, the castle naturally has a very special and unique atmosphere.
A wide variety of living concepts can be realised very well in the castle - as a family residence, living and working in a prestigious ambiance, as an event location or studio and exhibition space - the possibilities offered by the location, the flair, and the available space are numerous. Country living at its best can be immediately felt and experienced here in a prestigious and traditional romantic castle complex.
