Obermurau Castle, Renaissance castle in Murau, Austria.
Obermurau Castle features symmetrical architecture, stone walls, and multiple towers positioned on a hill overlooking the Mur River valley.
The original structure from 1232 was destroyed in the 1270s, leading to the construction of the current Renaissance castle between 1628 and 1643.
The castle houses an extensive collection of tapestries and period furnishings, displaying the lifestyle of Austrian nobility through the centuries.
Guided tours of the castle include visits to the picture gallery, kitchen, knight's hall, and chapel during specific months of the year.
The Schwarzenberg princely family maintains private residence in the castle while simultaneously managing public access to selected areas.
