Schloss Grünau, Medieval castle in Ried in der Riedmark, Austria.
Schloss Grünau is a three-story castle in Ried in der Riedmark with a mansard roof and prominent clock tower. The Biedermeier-style facade features decorative window frames and pilasters that reflect bourgeois elegance from the 19th century.
The castle was first mentioned in 1212 when owned by Ortolf von Volkenstorf. It underwent extensive rebuilding during the 18th and 19th centuries that shaped its current form.
The chapel on the grounds displays late Baroque forms and shapes the character of the property today. It stands as evidence of religious practice among residents and their connection to spiritual life within the estate.
The castle sits on private property and is normally not open to the public. Visits require advance permission, so interested visitors should arrange this beforehand.
The grounds feature a large farmyard with vaulted stables that still reflect the agricultural history of the property. A small pond on the estate adds to the rural character of the entire ensemble.
