Schloss Weinburg am Saßbach

The castle stands on a hill with a pentagonal layout, three corner towers, and a bell tower rising above its arcade courtyard.

First mentioned in 1278 as 'Haus Weinberg', the castle underwent major renovations between 1578 and 1590 by imperial architect Andrea Bertoletti.

The castle chapel, dedicated to Saint Catherine in 1608, contains an altar donated by Emperor Charles VI in the early 18th century.

While the interior remains private, visitors can access the courtyard and chapel during Saturday religious services for masses, baptisms, and weddings.

The castle houses two historical bells from 1498 and 1581, which continue to ring from the chapel tower.
