The current castle was rebuilt from 1660 onwards on the site of an older complex (first mentioned in 1281) and was remodelled in the Rococo style by François de Cuvilliés the Elder from 1743 to 1749. The last private owners were Louise Daxer-Piëch from the Porsche family and her husband Hans Daxer. In 1997, the Bavarian International School bought the castle, which maintains a campus in Munich and Haimhausen. Haimhausen Castle is not open to the public for visits. The extensive castle garden has housed the so-called „Haimhausener Quartett“ since the 17th century – an impressive ensemble of multi-tiered lime trees.

On the narrow bridges along the Amper, you have to be a bit careful not to pinch your fingers while cycling. There's little space between the handlebars and the railing.

A beautiful, sheltered swimming pond with warm water early in the day. A nice entry point with a jetty, but on weekends the narrow lawn is unfortunately far too small for the crowds.

The lake was created by the gravel excavation during the construction of the A 99 motorway and the stands of the regatta course from 1972. In high season, thousands of bathers come to the shores of the lake every day. In winter, there is little going on here except for a few dog walkers. A jog from the nearby regatta course will liven up your run a little. https://stadt.muenchen.de/service/info/regattaparksee/10313890/
