Schloss Salaberg

Schloss Salaberg is a Renaissance castle in Gemeinde Haag built around three connected courtyards, with towers rising in the central court and a clock tower marking the arcade courtyard. The overall structure shows architectural features from different periods that come together as a unified composition.

The castle was first recorded in 1282 as a fortress before Niclas Kölnbeck purchased it in 1530 and transformed it into a Renaissance residence. This change of purpose shaped the building for generations to come.

The Venetian banquet hall displays marble carvings, paintings, and stucco work that show the artistic tastes of Austrian noble families. Visitors attending events can see these rooms and experience the craftsmanship of their decorations firsthand.

The castle interior remains private, but you can rent the Venetian banquet hall for events or attend services in the restored chapel. The gardens are accessible and offer a good view of the historical landscape design.

The castle gardens, laid out in the 16th and 17th centuries, contain rare historical trees and rank among Austria's most important Baroque gardens. This garden holds plant species that are now scarce elsewhere.
