Schloss Welzenegg, Renaissance castle in Klagenfurt, Austria

The castle features three stories with protruding corner towers, pyramid roofs, and twin windows adorned with wrought iron grilles at its upper level.

Viktor Welzer von Eberstein and his wife Elisabeth Khevenhüller constructed the castle in 1575, receiving permission to name it after their family in 1578.

The former chapel contains baroque stucco work created by Gabriel Wittini during the late 17th century, representing the architectural styles of that period.

The western entrance portal displays a marble inscription tablet featuring the double coat of arms of the builder and his spouse.

The south side received a six-axis extension in 1919 with round terraces supported by paired columns, adding modern elements to the Renaissance structure.
