Schloss Bach, Sankt Urban

Schloss Bach stands on a slope north of Lake Sankt Urban, featuring square towers at its northeastern and southwestern corners, with bay windows at the remaining corners.

The building evolved from a medieval ministerial tower documented in 1192 to its present form in 1596 when Christoph Freiherr von Egkh transformed it into a Renaissance château.

The interior contains Renaissance period flader papers on coffered ceilings, consisting of woodcut variations framed by ornamental bands from the 16th century.

The château functions as a private venue for conferences and events, with renovations between 1997 and 1999 restoring the eastern loggia arcades and uncovering second-floor frescoes.

Red sandstone frames the main entrance on the southern facade, while the building maintains coupled windows on the second and third floors of both north and south sides.
