History
Schloss Prielau was first mentioned in 1425 under Christian Glaser zu Prielau.
Diocese of Chiemsee acquired the property. In 1803, the diocese was secularized. The last prince-bishop to use the palace was Sigmund Christoph von Waldburg-Zeil-Trauchburg (whose coat of arms can still be seen on the castle gate).[1] In 1811, the castle was auctioned off to the sacristan Anton Neumayer.[2]
In 1932, Gerty von Hofmannsthal, the widow of the Austrian
Porsche family bought the property and converted it into a hotel with several guest rooms and suites.[7] It has a park, a red deer farm, a private beach on the northern shore of the lake, a golf course, a helicopter landing and a wellness area with sauna, steam bath and massage services. There is a baroque chapel on the site where 30 to 40 marriages are held each year.[1]
