Schloss Seeburg, Medieval castle in Seekirchen am Wallersee, Austria.
Schloss Seeburg is a castle-like structure with a rectangular layout that rises at the northwestern shore of Lake Wallersee. The building displays four round corner towers and a mansard roof, with three stories defining its vertical extent.
The castle is first documented in 1150, showing a long presence by the lake. Ulrich von Dachsberg initiated significant construction works around 1429, giving the building its distinctive form.
The castle's name reflects its setting by the lake, where it shapes the landscape and is seen by visitors passing through the area. Today the building serves multiple functions and contributes to the local character.
The castle is not open for public tours today since it functions as a private university campus, civil registry office, and restaurant. Visitors should check in advance which areas might be accessible or if any public events are held there.
The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Rupert, underwent significant transformation during the Rococo renovation with new decorations added throughout. This redesign around 1752 made it a noteworthy example of the lake's artistic heritage.
