What remains an unfulfilled dream for most people became reality for Peter Löw: Schloss Hofhegnenberg was transformed from a dilapidated aristocratic residence into a carefully modernised residential palace with historical depth.
Hofhegnenberg Castle, located south of Augsburg in the Wittelsbach region, looks back on almost 400 years of aristocratic history. After centuries of ownership by various aristocratic families, the four-winged complex was in dire need of renovation when entrepreneur Peter Löw spontaneously acquired the castle. The aim was clear from the outset: to return it to its original use as a residence - a detached house, albeit on an extraordinary scale.
The refurbishment consistently followed the principles of monument protection and modern energy efficiency. Historic representative rooms were preserved, while modern living and sleeping areas were sensitively integrated into the attic storeys. The original building fabric, baroque window solutions and the 16th century pilgrimage chapel with its famous statue of the Virgin Mary are now combined to create a synthesis of architecture, history and living cultural heritage.
