Hofmark 4

The historic Klosterrichterhaus at Hofmark 4 in Dießen am Ammersee, Bavaria, is a notable architectural monument. Originally built in the early 17th century, it served as a prestigious residence for the judges of the monastic estate, reflecting the administrative importance of the Augustinian Canons Regular Abbey of Dießen.
History+
The construction of the building in 1620 is attributed to the monastic judge Andreas Faber, who thereby established a permanent residence for the judges of the monastic estate. Previously, they resided in various properties within the community. The building was strategically positioned on the border between the monastic estate and the market town of Dießen. After secularization and the dissolution of the monastic estate in 1803, its use as a judicial residence ceased. From 1803 to 1981, it housed the local forestry office, which managed, among other things, the Bayerdießen forest. Since 1981, the property has served as the official building for the Dießen police station.
