Description

The Königliches Schloss Berchtesgaden is a former building of a collegiate foundation of Augustinian canons in Berchtesgaden, protected as a monument and as an ensemble, whose beginnings go back to about the year 1102 and which, after several conversions, also served as the residence of the Prince-Provostry of Berchtesgaden. From 1810 it was owned by the Bavarian royal house, today by the Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds. After Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria had occupied the palace with his family from 1922 to 1933, he made parts of it accessible to the public and thereby laid the beginning of the palace museum.
