Plabutscher Schlössel, Protected cultural monument in Gösting district, Graz, Austria.
Plabutscher Schlössel is a protected historic castle on the eastern slope of Plabutsch mountain in Graz, Austria. It sits within a park and features a late 19th century facade with ornate decorative detailing.
The castle was designed by architect Georg Hönel and built in 1897. Shortly after, it was used as a facility for people with special needs before returning to private ownership over the following decades.
The Plabutscher Schlössel is widely known in Graz as the Wedding Castle, a nickname that reflects how the building is used today. The Red Salon, with its original decorative details, is the room most visitors remember.
The castle is used mainly for private events and weddings, so anyone wishing to visit should contact the venue beforehand to arrange access. It sits on the edge of Graz, at the foot of Plabutsch mountain, so a short trip from the city center is needed.
In 2018, the castle was bought by Austrian tennis player Thomas Muster after more than a century in the hands of one family, then sold again just two years later to a Bavarian investor. This rapid sequence of high-profile sales drew public attention to a property that had long stayed out of the spotlight.
