Hohenkammer Castle is a listed castle in Hohenkammer in the Freising district in Upper Bavaria. It is a four-wing complex with a courtyard, four oriel-like corner towers and a square gate tower. As a Hofmark Castle, it was the manorial seat of the Hofmark Hohenkammer.
The original Hohenkammer Castle belonged to the lords of Camer or Kammer, first attested in the 11th century, who settled in Hohenkammer in 1042. The "high lords of Camer" were ministerials of the Counts of Scheyern. From 1551 to 1801, the Hofmark Hohenkammer was owned by the Counts of Haslang, who built Hohenkammer Castle in the second half of the 16th century. After a devastating fire in 1648, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. From 1804 to 1821 the castle was owned by the Counts of Preysing and then passed to the publisher Johann Friedrich Freiherr von Cotta. It had been owned by the von Vequel-Westernach family since 1833. Mechthilde Freiin von Vequel-Westernach moved into a small villa nearby (today Baronessvilla) and sold the castle to the Raiffeisen cooperative in 1917. After a variety of uses, it became a training center for the Bavarian Raiffeisen Central Bank (later DZ Bank) in 1970.
Since 2003, the castle, Baroness Villa and Gut Eichethof have been owned by the Munich Reinsurance Company, which operates a hotel and conference center with three restaurants in the castle through the newly founded Schloss Hohenkammer GmbH. In 2007 the castle was renovated. Since 2015, Florian Vogel has been head chef at Camers Schlossrestaurant, which was awarded a Michelin star in the 2017 Michelin Guide.
