Schloss Possenhofen

After several other owners, most recently Count Basselet von la Rosée, the castle and the two court brands finally came into the possession of Duke Maximilian Joseph in Bavaria in 1834. His daughter Elisabeth, who later became Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary (Sisi), spent her childhood here.

Princess Elisabeth in Bavaria (also known as "Sisi"), who later became Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, spent much of her childhood here.

Nice castle, unfortunately only to be admired from the outside

Home of Duke Maximilian Joseph in Bavaria (Max) and his family, including, of course, the most famous resident of the place, the later Empress Elisabeth, who spent her childhood and youth here. The castle is unfortunately not open to the public - it was acquired by an investor in the 1980s, renovated and, excitingly, converted into condominiums (!). After all, the bank area in front of the castle, which also belongs to the castle grounds, is open to the public and you can enjoy wonderful views of the lake and the castle grounds here.

Unfortunately only a look from the outside!

Beautiful path on the western shore of Lake Starnberg. Unfortunately overcrowded at the weekend or during the holidays.

Great to walk by but it’s inconvenient to try and picnic with ‘a view of the castle’ ( pedestrian and bike traffic )

Of course you can get a glimpse of Sissi's summer residence while walking around the castle ... but it is one of the most beautiful here from the lake side.

Castle is privately owned today.

Sisi must have spent a summer or something here. Very nice to look at from the lake.

Sisi spent childhood and youth here.

Many ruins of the castle walls can still be seen.

Beautiful castle in a very nice place

Susi spent her childhood and youth here

No photo possible as it is privately owned.

Beautiful mood in the late afternoon just before the storm "Fabienne".
We sat until 20 o'clock at one of the footbridges and enjoyed the atmosphere at a pleasant 21 degrees.
