As an important and famous Bavarian landmark, the castle is listed as a historical monument. This unique estate was originally built by the local count Marquart von Hohenstein in the year 1075. From the 1920s to the 1950s the castle housed the local boarding school, until it was sold to a family who trans- formed it back into a family home. In the mid-19th century it was sold to a noble family who rebuilt it as a private home. When today’s owner acquired the castle in 1987, they began extensive renovations over several years. Because of its important strategic location in Southern Bavaria (also known as the land of castles) the Castle of Marquartstein served the Bavarian rulers as the center of government and administration for the Chiemgau region for centuries. Thus controlled the traffic on one of the most important trade routes leading from the South, from Italy and Tyrol, into Bavaria. Due to the geographic isolation of the Alpine regions, many features of the Old Bavarian language from the Middle High German period have been preserved. Today, the Castle of Marquartstein serves as family home, within medieval walls but with all the comforts of the 21st century. Surrounded by the Bavarian Alps with views of Lake Chiemsee. The unique culture of Bavaria is known for its theaters, parks, museums, mountains, and cultural events such as Oktoberfest.
