Eggenberg Castle in Vorchdorf, Medieval château in Vorchdorf, Austria.
The stone château stands on elevated ground with white exterior walls, traditional Austrian architectural elements, and multiple wings arranged in a rectangular layout.
The building transformed from a monastery property to a commercial brewery in 1681 when Michael Weismann acquired it from the Monastery of Kremsmünster.
The Forstinger-Stöhr family maintains the château since 1803, preserving its dual function as a historical monument and an active brewery establishment.
Visitors can explore the château grounds, gardens, and brewery facilities through guided tours available throughout the year at Eggenberg 1, 4655 Vorchdorf.
The château brewery produces Samichlaus, a 14% alcohol content lager, manufactured only on December 6 each year following a ten-month cold fermentation process.
