St. Andreas, the former waterworks and the Four Fountains Cycle Route showcase different sides of Harthausen, alongside its golf course. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Harthausen, you can decide whether church architecture, golf or cycling should be the focus of your stay.
Church and former waterworks
Harthausen is a district of the municipality of Grasbrunn. It is home to the listed Catholic branch church of St. Andreas. Its hall church has a Gothic core dating from the 14th or 15th century. The chancel is square, the eastern tower has a pointed spire, and a sacristy is attached. The nave was extended around 1870; the tower is Baroque. The high altar was created around 1660/70. The church thus reveals different construction phases and styles, from its Gothic core to later alterations.
Another listed monument is the former Harthausen waterworks: a water reservoir built in the form of a medieval defensive tower. The structure includes a round-arch frieze and a small water house with a stepped gable; the complex bears the date 1901. As a technical facility shaped like a defensive tower, it provides a distinct architectural focal point alongside St. Andreas.
Golf course and cycling route
The Harthausen golf course covers 66 hectares and has 18 holes. The driving range has more than 70 grass teeing areas. The area, course format and teeing areas offer different points of reference for anyone considering golf as part of their trip; they describe both the course and the practice area.
The Four Fountains Cycle Route passes the golf course on its way to Harthausen, where it runs alongside the centrally located water tower, built in 1901. The original Water Spirit Fountain is also near the tower. After passing the village church in Harthausen, the Four Fountains Cycle Route joins the Isar–Inn Panorama Route. The golf course, water tower and connection to the other cycle route are therefore useful landmarks for finding your way along the route. The wider destination of Grasbrunn also offers many cycle paths for scenic outings.
Agricultural collection
A report from June 2022 described a collection at the Seilhof Museum in Harthausen, assembled by Josef Karl Sr.: historic 20th-century agricultural machinery and equipment, including some older items. At the time, most of the collection came from Harthausen or from the family’s own farm. If you are planning to visit the museum, check in advance whether visits are currently possible.
Bus and regional context
MVV Regional Bus route 240 connects Neukeferloh, Bahnhofstraße, with Höhenkirchen-Sieg via Grasbrunn and Harthausen. The timetable is valid from 14 December 2025; changes are subject to alteration. Check the departure times that apply on your travel date before setting off.
The wider destination of Grasbrunn also includes Möschenfeld. There, Benedictine monks had a chapel built in the 11th century in honour of Saint Ottilia, which developed into a pilgrimage site. Grasbrunn is near the Bavarian Alps and lakes as well as the city of Munich, and lies on the edge of large forest and recreational areas. These details provide context for the wider destination and complement the picture of Harthausen’s own church, golf and cycling attractions.
