Secret Sale: Historic Estate in a Unique Waterfront Location on Fraueninsel - Chiemsee

• Secret Sale: Historic Estate in a Unique Lakeside Location on Fraueninsel - Chiemsee

Located in one of Bavaria’s most extraordinary settings, this historic, listed estate boasts a prime lakeside location on Fraueninsel. With private lake access, views of Herreninsel and Herrenchiemsee Castle, and an impressive historical backdrop, the property combines living history with a wide range of potential uses.

The origins of the building, constructed in the Salzburg style, date back to the early 12th century. Once part of the Frauenwörth Monastery, it served as the office and residence of the court judge; the historic courtroom was located on the first floor. During the construction of the Campanile in the 13th and 14th centuries, the building was already being used as a tavern. After secularization in 1803, it housed a cloth-making workshop for many decades. In 1950 and 1951, it was finally converted into the inn it is today. In 1981, guest rooms were added to the property, while the south wing was extensively renovated in 2011 and expanded to include six high-quality hotel rooms.

Today, the main building comprises approximately 1,500 m² of usable space. The facilities include a total of twelve guest rooms, five staff rooms, an operator’s apartment, two historically preserved dining rooms, a spacious commercial kitchen with refrigeration and storage areas, as well as additional functional spaces. Traditional details, historic vaulted ceilings, wooden beam ceilings, and tiled stoves lend the dining rooms a distinctive atmosphere. The modernized guest rooms provide a bright and contemporary contrast.

Particularly impressive are the expansive outdoor areas directly on Lake Chiemsee. A secluded sunbathing lawn, a lakeside bar, the large terrace with high-quality Mediterranean landscaping, and the covered beer garden - which doubles as a winter garden - offer charming views of the water and the surrounding landscape. The property includes private, freehold access to the lake, as well as a dock, a small marina with moorings for four boats, and a buoy. According to the property listing, the dock and marina are operated under lease agreements.

The property is complemented by various outbuildings, a lovingly landscaped flower garden, and a separate building lot. According to the property documents, a building permit has been issued for a single-family home with approximately 160 m² of living space; the basement and foundation slab have already been constructed.

The car-free Fraueninsel is one of the most culturally and scenically significant locations on Lake Chiemsee. The Benedictine convent of Frauenwörth, the long tradition of the artists’ colony, the lush vegetation, and the views of the lake and the Alps define its unique character. Regular ferry service is available to Gstadt, Prien, and Seebruck, among other destinations.

Whether as a traditional hotel and restaurant, an extraordinary private retreat, or a prestigious corporate retreat: this property offers rare opportunities in a location that is virtually one-of-a-kind. Any changes in use or development plans must be coordinated with the relevant authorities.

The property is situated in an exceptional lakeside location on the western side of Fraueninsel on Lake Chiemsee. From here, an impressive view opens up across the lake toward Herreninsel, home to Herrenchiemsee Castle, as well as the surrounding Alpine foothills.

Fraueninsel is the smaller of the two inhabited islands in Lake Chiemsee and belongs to the municipality of Chiemsee in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim. The car-free island is characterized by historic buildings, lush gardens, mature trees, and a unique blend of nature, culture, and Bavarian tradition. Among its most famous landmarks is the Benedictine convent of Frauenwörth, founded in 782. The long-standing artists’ colony and the Christmas market, known far beyond the region, also contribute to the island’s special atmosphere.

Fraueninsel is accessible exclusively by water. Regular ferry service is available, particularly to Gstadt, Prien am Chiemsee, and Seebruck. Residents can also use their own motorboats to dock at the berths in Gstadt designated for islanders.

On the mainland, Gstadt offers shopping for daily needs as well as bus connections to the train stations in Prien and Bad Endorf. Additional shopping options, schools, doctors, and medical facilities are primarily located in Prien am Chiemsee, about ten kilometers away.

Its immediate location on the water, the tranquility of the car-free island, and its excellent integration into one of Bavaria’s most charming cultural and natural landscapes make this location an absolute rarity.
