Schloss Dürnkrut, Renaissance castle and museum in Dürnkrut, Austria
The four-winged Renaissance building features a dominant gate tower, round bastions, and stands on a hill in the center of town.
The castle changed ownership multiple times, from the Landau family in 1580 to Scottish Count Hamilton in 1696, who expanded the structure extensively.
The castle chapel displays five paintings in marouflage technique and contains elaborate stucco decorations from the early 17th century.
Guided tours of the castle and museum are available Monday through Thursday from 8:00 to 15:00 with advance telephone reservation.
The entrance hall presents a stucco relief depicting Hercules fighting the Nemean lion, created during the Hamilton period around 1700.
