Wedding location Schloss Höhenried – Getting married on Lake Starnberg

Höhenried Castle is arguably one of the most beautiful wedding locations in Bavaria—located directly on the shores of Lake Starnberg. This elegant 1930s castle combines historic charm with modern amenities, providing the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding. I’ve been to this beautiful location before as a wedding photographer.
The combination of magnificent architecture, expansive castle grounds, and stunning lake views makes this location a true insider tip for couples who value style and a unique atmosphere.

Celebrate with a view of Lake Starnberg

After the ceremony, you and your guests can enjoy the castle grounds, relax with an aperitif on the terrace, and admire the unique view of the lake.
The spacious halls inside the castle offer space for both smaller parties and large wedding celebrations. Here, dancing, laughter, and celebrations continue well into the night.



The perfect backdrop for wedding photos

As a wedding photographer, I love Höhenried Castle for its versatility:
Romantic walkways in the castle grounds
Impressive facades for elegant couple portraits
Sunsets directly on Lake Starnberg
Secret spots for intimate moments away from society
This location offers you endless possibilities to capture your story in unique images.

My tip for you

Höhenried Castle is especially popular in spring and summer – reserve your date early. Also, consider how you can incorporate the spacious outdoor areas into your celebration – for example, with an outdoor lounge, an open-air champagne reception, or evening fairy lights.
