Schloss Seeheim stands in Konstanz (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing on the shore of Lake Constance, Schloss Seeheim is a stately villa built in the late nineteenth century on the foundations of an older structure. Its architecture draws on the look of late Gothic fortresses, a deliberate stylistic choice by the man who commissioned it rather than a genuine medieval legacy. Long before the present building existed, the site had notable occupants, including Queen Hortense de Beauharnais, who stayed here in the early nineteenth century. Today the building houses a café-restaurant and cultural activities.
