Discover Castle Tutzing: History, Education, and Encounter at Starnberger See
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Protestant Academy Tutzing will open its doors for a special city and castle tour. Academy director Pastor Udo Hahn will guide visitors through the historic estate, connecting architecture, local history, and the educational mission of the academy to create an impressive discovery experience.
A Castle with a Turbulent History
Castle Tutzing has a history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Its present classicist form was established between 1802 and 1816 under the then lord of the castle, Friedrich Count von Vieregg. The owners changed several times, and the building was remodeled repeatedly. During the tour, the historical development of the castle will be vividly and directly experienced on site.
From Historical Estate to Place of Dialogue
After World War II, Castle Tutzing became the seat of the Protestant Academy. Since then, the place has stood for education, encounter, and open opinion formation. The academy promotes conversations between church, society, politics, science, and culture and accompanies societal developments with critical attention.
With Academy Director Udo Hahn through the Academy
Academy director Pastor Udo Hahn will provide insights into the work and special mission of the Protestant Academy Tutzing. The tour connects historical backgrounds with current questions: How does a historically significant place shape societal dialogue? What role does an educational institution play in the cultural and religious life of the region? This results in a cultural enrichment for all who wish to get to know Tutzing and its cultural heritage more intensively.
