Trauttmansdorff Castle

The castle is currently serving as a tourist location and home to a tourism museum.

[1] Additionally, since 1543, the castle and gardens were owned by the House of Trauttamansdorff, one of the oldest and most distinguished Austrian noble families.

When the castle was rebuilt in 1846, Count Josef von Trauttmansdorff opted to enlarge the building.

[1] However, due to the combination of new and old buildings on the side there is a mix of mostly three periods, first Gothic, secondly Romanesque, and finally Baroque.

[5] The interior hall in the castle is decorated with a Baroque ceiling mural surrounded by layers of molding and marble pilasters.
