---

Schloss Alteglofsheim is a historic Baroque castle in Alteglofsheim, Bavaria, that evolved from a medieval moated castle whose origins date back to at least the 10th century.

Over the centuries, the estate passed through several noble families and was extensively transformed during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly under the Counts of Königsfeld, who turned it into one of the region’s most impressive aristocratic residences. The castle combines medieval elements, including a large tower from the early 14th century, with elegant late Baroque architecture and richly decorated interiors.

After periods of private ownership and decline following World War II, the property was acquired and restored by the Free State of Bavaria. Today, Schloss Alteglofsheim is home to the Bavarian Music Academy, serving as an important center for music education, concerts, seminars, and cultural events. Its historic buildings and landscaped park make it one of the most significant cultural landmarks in the Regensburg area.
