Heritage Sites & Castles

Lake Starnberg’s shores are lined with architectural landmarks spanning millennia, from the UNESCO-listed prehistoric pile dwellings at Roseninsel to the royal residences of the Wittelsbach dynasty. The region is defined by sites like Possenhofen Castle, the childhood home of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and Berg Castle, the site of King Ludwig II’s death. Beyond the palaces, the area preserves the 12th-century Augustinian monastery in Bernried and several 19th-century manor houses, alongside memorials dedicated to landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné and author Oskar Maria Graf.
