Top 7 Castles around Bad Schallerbach

A castle worth seeing with a view over the Trattnach valley

The building has been beautifully renovated, and the park is also tidy. It's a house that has stood here since the 16th century. Interestingly, this castle once belonged to the Duchy of Brunswick. Marie Valerie, the fourth daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I, who was born in Hungary, also lived here with her family for a while. The house is very well maintained. Today, there are apartments inside that can be rented. It's a shame that there is a large electrical plant right in front of it. But the whole complex radiates a very peaceful atmosphere. It used to be a moated castle, but there is no trace of that anymore. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing just from the outside.

Great facility with town hall inside - beautiful courtyard!

The Lichtenegg moated castle was built by Ludwig von Polheim in the middle of the 16th century. After 1613 it belonged to the Enenkl, Schallenberg, Kazianer and Seeau families. Imperial Count Georg Josef von Mannsdorf acquired the castle in 1722, which after his death passed to his daughter Maria Theresia, who was married to Josef Pilati von Tassul. The current appearance of the castle, whose moat has long since been abandoned, is due to the renovation by the Wels builder Wolfgang Grinzenberger in 1726, and through adaptations at the end of the 19th century, when Empress Sisi's daughter - Archduchess Valerie - moved in here with her husband. and due to the restoration after the bomb damage in 1944. Today there are apartments in the castle.
