About this Stone
This striking baroque castle sits above the Enns Valley with wide views of the surrounding mountains. Its origins reach back to medieval times, when it served a defensive purpose, but it was later transformed into an elegant residence that blends those early fortifications with refined baroque architecture. Today it houses a regional museum exploring the nature, culture, and history of the Styrian Salzkammergut, making it a destination for those interested in both architectural heritage and local heritage. The grounds offer plenty of quiet corners to explore, with landscape and stonework that reward careful wandering.
