Hohenkammer Castle

The origins of the castle date back to the 11th century when the Lords of Camer settled in Hohenkammer in 1042. They are considered the founders of the complex. From 1551, the property was owned by the Counts of Haslang. The current castle building was erected in the 15th century and, after a fire in 1648, was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. In the early 19th century, from 1804 to 1821, it belonged to the Counts Preysing before passing to the publisher Johann Friedrich Freiherr von Cotta. From 1833, the von Vequel-Westernach family owned it. In 1917, Mechthilde Freiin von Vequel-Westernach sold the castle to the Raiffeisen cooperative.
