Schloss Glaswein

Schloss Glaswein stands two stories high with single-story wings forming an inner courtyard, displaying elements of baroque architecture at 309 meters elevation.

Count Wenzel von Sinzendorf commissioned the construction of this hunting lodge in 1762, which later became a military hospital during World War II.

The Great Salon features wall paintings by Johann Franz Greipel from 1769, depicting rural life scenes and a ceiling artwork of Diana with her dog.

The castle underwent complete restoration until 1954 to repair damages from World War II, with additional preservation work by subsequent owner Dirk Brandis.

The building contains multiple salons decorated with murals showing the four continents, hunting scenes, and oriental subjects in mixed fresco-secco technique.
