Schloss Tollet, Renaissance castle in Tollet, Austria

The Renaissance castle stands on a hill in the Trattnachtal valley, featuring a central courtyard with an ornate fountain and arcade railings.

The fortification, first documented in 1170 under Count Ortolf von Tollet, underwent reconstruction in Renaissance style during 1607.

The castle functions as a district heritage center, presenting regional exhibitions and housing the Upper Austrian State Bee Museum and Wagner Museum.

Eight residential apartments occupy the second floor while municipal offices operate on the ground level following complete renovation in 2009.

Martin Luther sent Michael Stifel, the first Lutheran preacher of Upper Austria, to Tollet Castle in 1533.
