Schloss Mayerhofen, Medieval castle in Friesach, Austria.

The three-story cubic structure features a triangular gable on its eastern facade and stands within extensive grounds in the Carinthian region.

First documented in 1303 when Archbishop Friedrich donated the estate to Maria-Magdalena Monastery in Friesach, with major reconstruction occurring in the late 1600s.

The estate encompasses a Biedermeier garden from the early 1900s, complete with a garden pavilion topped by an onion dome near the swimming pool.

Located one kilometer east of St. Salvator village, the castle maintains protected monument status under designation number 34814.

Archaeological excavations in 1937 near the castle uncovered a 4500-year-old skeleton with grave goods at a depth of 4.5 meters.
