Schloss Walchen, Stately castle in Vöcklamarkt, Austria
The three-story main building of Schloss Walchen stands with a two-story wing, displaying the architectural elements of sixteenth-century noble residences.
The construction of Schloss Walchen in 1590 replaced the earlier Burg Walchen, with Hans Christoph Geymann serving as its first builder and owner.
The castle represents the Germanic architectural tradition of Schlösser, which evolved from defensive structures into residential mansions for nobility.
The castle functions as an event location for celebrations, with visiting opportunities requiring advance arrangements through the current property management.
A copper engraving by Georg Matthäus Vischer from 1674 documents the historical appearance of Schloss Walchen during its early period.
