Schloss Möderndorf, Local museum and castle in Hermagor-Pressegger See, Austria.

The three-story castle with an L-shaped layout stands on the right bank of the Gail River, featuring two rounded archways and painted coats of arms.

First documented in 1331, the castle belonged to Simon Weidegger in 1458 before passing to Emperor Frederick III through the Peace of Pusarnitz in 1460.

The Gailtaler Heimatmuseum within the castle displays a collection of folkloric items started by Georg Essl I around 1900, representing local traditions.

The museum received the Austrian Museum Quality Seal certification, valid from October 2009 through December 2024, ensuring high standards for visitors.

The district court relocated from Grünburg Castle to Schloss Möderndorf when Prince Johann Ferdinand Porcia acquired the estate on October 8, 1662.
