Schloss Rosenberg

Schloss Rosenberg is a Renaissance palace in Zell am See featuring four corner towers and a central rounded projection on its eastern facade that creates symmetrical proportions. The building displays characteristic Renaissance architectural details with balanced windows and decorative stonework throughout its walls.

The palace was founded in 1583 by mining entrepreneurs Hans and Karl Rosenberger, who purchased the land from local citizen Balthasar Egger and his wife. Its construction occurred during a period when the region prospered through salt mining and mineral extraction activities.

The palace serves as the city hall of Zell am See today, housing municipal administrative functions within its Renaissance walls.

The palace is located at Brucker Bundesstraße 2 and is easily accessible on foot from the town center. The building functions as city hall, so access is limited to standard administrative business hours.

The building underwent extensive renovation in 2009 that balanced modern administrative requirements with preservation of the original Renaissance architecture. The restoration carefully maintained historical facades and decorative details while installing contemporary systems inside.
