The Schloss Gatterburg stands before you: a testament to a bygone era of elegance and grandeur. Its story, though, takes unexpected turns. This beautiful building, now used for offices, has seen many transformations. Originally, it was a simple country estate built in 1817 by King Maximilian I. Joseph for his son Prince Karl. It wasn’t long before the estate landed in the hands of Baron Karl von Beck, the founder of the Pasing paper factory. The story takes an interesting turn with his daughter Pauline, who married Count Franz von Gatterburg. Upon her father’s death in 1862, Pauline inherited the estate and the paper factory which led to its name and fate. Franz von Gatterburg took charge of the renovation of the estate in 1869; transforming it into a two-story, flat-roofed building known as the Schloss Gatterburg we see today.
The Schloss Gatterburg stands as a reminder of the intertwined histories of the Bavarian monarchy, local industrialists, and the family responsible for its present name.
