Schloss Lodron, Gmünd, Castle and local museum in Gmünd, Austria.

Schloss Lodron stands at the southeastern corner of the main square, featuring a quadrangular courtyard connected to the upper city gate through its north wing.

The castle construction began in 1610 by master builder Daniel Deutta and was completed between 1651 and 1654 under the direction of Anton Riebeler.

The castle houses multiple facilities including a secondary school, gymnasiums, city halls, and a library, serving as an educational and community center.

The building maintains protected monument status under Austrian heritage laws, ensuring its preservation while functioning as both an educational institution and museum.

Two stone lions from the Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg decorate the eastern garden front, placed there around 1670 as heraldic symbols of the Lodron family.
