Manufacturer supercars Porsche put up for sale Castle in Bavaria.
supercar Porsche put up for sale Castle in Bavaria. Ancient castle took over the brand in 2006 for 6 million euros, intending to turn it into a representative residence. But the project is to transform the property for 5 years and have not moved off the ground. Bullahberg Castle is located in close proximity to one of the main attractions in Germany - Neuschwanstein Castle. Until 1995, he served as the official residence of the princely family of Thurn and Taxis. But the modern aristocracy can not afford to maintain large estates, so they willingly part with their heritage. The former head of Porsche Wendelin Wiedeking planned to accommodate 180,000 square meters of the castle under the luxury hotel, training center and exhibit space. Wiedeking dreamed that Bullahberg Castle will be the center of attraction for tourists and fans of the brand. However, the project did not go well, and now he decided to completely collapse. Although Porsche now things gradually began to improve. In the first half of the year the company received a 149 million euro net profit, slightly offsetting the huge financial losses during the crisis period.
