To make a day of it
Schloss Weyhern stands in Egenhofen (Landkreis Fürstenfeldbruck), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
Schloss Weyhern stands in Egenhofen on a site occupied since the Middle Ages by a residence of the local gentry. The present building, an imposing three storey baroque structure under a hipped roof, dates from a reconstruction carried out for Johann Baptist von Ruffini in the early eighteenth century, followed by a neoclassical remodelling of the main façade in the nineteenth century under the von Lotzbeck family. A baroque chapel survives along with wall and ceiling paintings by Joseph Schwarzmann. Since the 1980s the building has been divided into private apartments and is not open to visitors.
