Possenhofen

Few places in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to Empress Elisabeth of Austria’s childhood as Possenhofen. On the western shore of Starnberger See, this lakeside district of Pöcking is centred on Schloss Possenhofen, the Wittelsbach residence where the future empress, widely known as Sisi, spent much of her youth. Starnberger See is Bavaria’s second-largest lake by area and has long served as a summer escape from nearby Munich. Roseninsel, its only island, is associated with King Ludwig II and his 19th-century retreats. Move on to other webcams in Bavaria to compare lakeside settings around Starnberger See.
