Schloss Obergriesbach stands in Obergriesbach (Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Obergriesbach stands at the centre of the village of Obergriesbach, in the Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg in Bavaria, on a site first recorded in 1101 under the name Griesbach. Lordship over the estate passed through several noble families, the local Griesbach nobility, the Weichs from 1468, the counts of Thurn und Taxis from 1730, then the barons von Harold, before coming in 1833 to the von Gravenreuth family, who still own it today. Listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria, the building remains a private residence and bears witness to eight centuries of manorial history along the Paar valley.
