Tanzenberg Castle

The palace, built in four wings around a rectangular courtyard, is one of Austria's most important Renaissance buildings.

Presumably, under the supervision of Leonhard II, the son of Wolfgang von Keutschach, the castle was completed.

From 1942 until the end of the war in 1945, Tanzenberg Castle served as a repository for the collections of the Central Library of the Advanced School of the NSDAP.

Four tracts around a rectangular courtyard form a Renaissance structure that is significant in Austria, although the state of disrepair in the 19th century and the subsequent renovations of 1898 caused much to longer exist.

The Neo-Romanesque, three-nave basilica with an apse was built in the first two decades of the twentieth century according to plans by Hans Pascher in collaboration with the architect Father Johann Maria Reiter[2] and Eduard Avian,[3] but it was not completed.

The winged altarpiece, also from his own hand, stands under the theme of "security in the new life" and reproduces the head of the Shroud of Turin on the upper side.
