Sünching Castle
Sünching is first mentioned in a document in 773. The noble family of Sünching is traceable from the mid-12th to the mid-14th century. The Barons, then Counts of Seinsheim resided at Sünching Castle from 1573 to 1958. The castle is an octagon with an octagonal, irregular inner courtyard; its building history is exceptionally well documented, and it is one of the most beautiful Rococo complexes in Southern Germany. It was continuously inhabited by the builder family. Through inheritance, the property passed from the last Seinsheim in 1958 to the current owner, the grandson Johann Carl Baron von Hoenning O'Carroll. These O'Carrolls are Irish petty kings from Ely, Central Ireland. They came to Hungary via North America and Weimar.
A princely collateral line of the Seinsheims still flourishes under the name Schwarzenberg.
