Schloss Ennsegg

Schloss Ennsegg is a Renaissance castle in Enns featuring a central building with two wings forming a large inner courtyard. The property includes a chapel decorated with frescoes and an English garden surrounding the grounds.

In 1483, Emperor Frederick III ordered construction of a new castle on the site where four townhouses had been demolished. This new structure replaced an earlier fortress that once stood in the same location.

The castle now serves as a music school and hosts the Museum Enns 1212, which displays the city's history through exhibits. Visitors can see spaces used both for education and cultural events throughout the building.

The castle offers parking for 40 vehicles and various indoor spaces available for events, seminars, and performances. Visitors should check in advance which areas are accessible to the public and what hours the museum maintains.

Marie-Antoinette visited the castle during her journey to France, leaving a mark in European royal history. This visit connects the site to important diplomatic moments of that era.
