Schloss Prielau

The building was rebuilt between 1560 and 1565 by Hans Christoph Perner von Rettenwörth into the general structure you see today.

The last prince-bishop to use the palace was Sigmund Christoph von Waldburg-Zeil-Trauchburg (whose coat of arms can still be seen on the castle gate).

To avoid expropriation by the Nazis due to the family's Jewish heritage, she wanted to give the castle away to her daughter Christiane (née von Hofmannsthal) Zimmer and her husband German indologist Heinrich Zimmer, soon after buying it.

[1] In 1987,[6] the Porsche family bought the property and converted it into a hotel with several guest rooms and suites.

[7] It has a park, a red deer farm, a private beach on the northern shore of the lake, a golf course, a helicopter landing and a wellness area with sauna, steam bath and massage services.
