Starnberg

Built on 1765/66 by Maximilian III in the late rococo style. The most significant attraction inside is the high altar by Ignaz Günther, hailed as the most important Bavarian rococo sculptor.

Fittingly the seat of the local Finanzamt (tax authority) today. Developed in a strategically favourable location on a steeply sloping moraine hill above the lake and as an outpost for the counts of Andechs, who were powerful in the early Middle Ages, against the then aspiring and less powerful Wittels. The castle was conquered and expanded by the Wittelsbach family as early as 1246, but was probably converted into a castle in the 15th century and used for the summer fun of the Wittelsbach family.
