Seefeld Castle

The gate was built in 1736 in rococo style, with a gable that holds an impressive stone carving of the arms of the counts of Toerring-Jettenbach.

The courtyard, with its 1733 fountain, is framed by strong 18th century farm buildings designed for stabling and brewing.

The small tower in the southwest of the castle shown on Michael Wening's 1700 drawing was probably older, as was the old north building.

In 1479 this chapel was replaced by the new one built between the keep and the curtain wall by Seyfried von Toerring and inaugurated on 28 December 1479.

[2] The Counts of Toerring-Jettenbach, followers of the Wittelsbachs from the 14th century, were very influential at the court of the Electorate and Kingdom of Bavaria.

[1] Extensive construction was undertaken from 1730 onward, including a new brewery, cowshed and barn, an upgrade to the sawmill, replacement of the inner castle bridge, erection of a fountain in the outer courtyard and reconstruction of the gatehouse.

[1] In recent years the grounds and buildings have been renovated by the owner, Graf Hans Caspar zu Törring-Jettenbach.
