Schloss Höch, Renaissance castle in Flachau, Austria.
Schloss Höch is a stone castle in Flachau featuring a Salzburg Renaissance salon, ancient tiled stoves, a chapel, and vaulted cellars within the main building. The rooms combine refined architecture with functional spaces developed over several centuries.
The castle was built during the Renaissance period and changed hands through the centuries until the Municipality of Flachau acquired it in 1999. This acquisition by the local government became a turning point for how the building would be maintained and used going forward.
The rooms inside display regional building elements from the Salzburg area, combining Renaissance design with local construction traditions.
Visitors must book guided tours by phone in advance because the castle maintains limited access hours. Groups should arrange their visits ahead of time to secure the best time for exploring.
The castle serves as a civil ceremony venue where couples celebrate weddings in historical rooms featuring Renaissance design details. This modern use connects the site's history with important life events.
