Gatterburg Castle is a late-classical castle in the Pasing district of Munich. In October 1814, Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph bought a predecessor building of the current castle, which stood on an island in the Würm, from the Berchem family. He had this building demolished and a country estate built on the current site, which he gifted to his son Prince Karl in 1817.

Via Knight Felix von Hiltz, who was the owner from June 13, 1834, the property passed in 1841 to Baron Karl von Beck, the founder of the Pasing paper mill. His daughter Pauline married Count Franz von Gatterburg and, after her father's death in 1862, brought not only the Beck paper mill but also the then country castle to her husband. He had parts of the castle demolished and, from 1869, incorporating an old cross-vaulted cellar, built the two-story Gatterburg with a flat hip roof, named after him.

From 1923, the castle was used as a monastery by the Passionists. After the building was renovated in 1999, it now houses office spaces.
