The blaze on 23 October gutted the Nazi-era building in the Bavarian Alps. A suspect is in provisional psychiatric care, with no formal charge known and presumed innocent, and Bavaria wants to rebuild. The Kehlsteinhaus, known as the Eagle's Nest, was largely destroyed by a fire on the night of 23 October 2026 in the Bavarian Alps; no one was injured.

Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, assumed the building will be rebuilt; the Obersalzberg Documentation Centre was not affected.
