Schloss Thannhausen

The four-winged Renaissance château features diamond-shaped towers at its corners and contains a large three-story courtyard with arcaded galleries on each level.

Built on a Roman villa rustica site, the château was completed in 1585 by Johann von Teuffenbach and Conrad von Thannhausen, with major renovations around 1720.

The structure represents a transition from medieval fortress to residential château, incorporating both defensive elements and Renaissance architectural principles in its design.

Located in the Styrian countryside near Weiz, the château remains a private residence owned by the Reichsfreiherren von Gudenus family since 1806.

The northern wall preserves elements of the original fortress defense structures while integrating Renaissance-style pillared arcades across three levels.
