Seehof Herrsching has a long history. In the middle of the 18th century the lake, then named Ampersee, belonged to a monastery. The monks from Diesen and Andechs used the nearby castle Mühlefeld as their summer residence. In 1885/1886 a guesthouse, today's Seehof, was built near the jetty. A citation out of a guidebook for the Ammersee region from 1898 reads: Hotel restaurant Seehof steamboat jetty, located directly at the lake, lake resort, recommends its comfortable equipped guest rooms starting at 1 Mark.

The main restaurant is well known for its fish specialties. All ingredients used in the kitchen are from the region.
