Casino (Royal Villa) on Rose Island – Feldafing / Starnberger See

Picture: Royal Villa

In 1853 King Maximilian II of Bavaria commissioned Peter Joseph Lenné to design a internal link landscape park on the west shore of the Starnberger See. The park, which combines decorative formal and natural landscape elements, was laid out by Carl von Effner. The palace commenced much later in 1863 was abandoned on the early death of the king in March 1864. Rose Island with its small island villa, the "Casino", and a rose garden also designed by Lenné, was one of the favourite places of Maximilian's son Ludwig II; among the special guests he received here were Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna, Richard Wagner and Empress Elisabeth of Austria.

 

 

Rose blossom
Usually the first blossom begins around mid-June, the second around mid-August, each lasting for about 4 weeks. Due to the climate the roses may bloom (even weeks) earlier or later.

Monument under water

Picture: Logo of the UNESCO and the World Heritage CentreThe remains of prehistoric pile dwellings on the bottom of Lake Starnberg by Rose Island have been included on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage list.

In June 2011, over 100 selected archaeological sites in several countries were declared cultural heritage under the heading of "Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps". They provide researchers with unique insights into the ancient world of farming, everyday life, agriculture, animal breeding and technical innovations. The pile dwelling sites in Lake Starnberg, together with other remains of settlements, represent an archaeological heritage which dates back to 5000 BC.

For further information about the pile dwellings in Bavaria, please contact the external link Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (Bayerisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege).
