Plabutscher Schlössel, Protected cultural monument in Gösting district, Graz, Austria.
Plabutscher Schlössel is a castle located on the eastern slope of Plabutsch mountain in Graz. The building contains approximately 750 square meters of living space and sits within a park that spreads across the surrounding grounds.
The building was designed and constructed in 1897 by architect Georg Hönel. A decade later, it was repurposed as a wellness and educational facility for individuals with special needs.
The castle displays late 19th century architecture with preserved original features such as the notable Red Salon and decorative facade elements. These details reflect the craftsmanship and tastes of the period when the building was created.
The castle now serves as a venue for private celebrations and weddings, earning a local reputation as Graz's Wedding Castle. Those interested in touring the building or grounds should contact in advance to arrange a visit.
The property changed hands from a family that held it for a century to tennis player Thomas Muster in 2018, then to a Bavarian investor two years later. These high-profile ownership shifts brought attention to the castle's recent past.
