Schloss Neudegg

Schloss Neudegg is a Baroque building in Salzburg with a main residence, a chapel, and farm buildings that form a compact compound. Four corner towers topped with onion-shaped domes give the ensemble its distinctive appearance.

The château was founded in 1460 when Niklas Venediger built it on land formerly used for laundry by Nonnberg Abbey. Until 1848, the owner paid annual tributes to the abbey, reflecting a long-standing economic relationship between the two properties.

The chapel displays religious artwork from the 17th century with coat-of-arms symbols representing families who shaped the property over generations. The space reflects the historical connection between nobility and the church that defined life here for centuries.

The property sits on Nonntaler Hauptstraße next to the ORF radio studio and is visible from the street, though it remains a private residence. You can observe the building's architecture and layout from outside, but entry to the grounds is not permitted.

The Meran family has owned the property since 1935 and descends from Archduke Johann of Austria-Este, a member of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty. This connection to one of Europe's most influential ruling families adds a hidden significance that remains invisible from the street.
