Tanzenberg Castle, Renaissance castle and school in Sankt Veit an der Glan, Austria.

The rectangular courtyard of Tanzenberg Castle extends over 5,000 square meters and contains four wings surrounded by educational facilities.

The first documented mention of Konrad von Tanzenberg dates to 1247, and by 1300 the Lords of Mordax controlled the estate until 1500.

The Neo-Romanesque Seminar Church features three nave basilica architecture and mosaics depicting the Holy Family and numerous saints.

The castle functions as Bundesgymnasium and Marianum Tanzenberg, offering both lower and upper grade education under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gurk.

Emperor Maximilian spent several weeks at Tanzenberg during his childhood, accompanied by his sister Kunigunde before the 1515 reconstruction.
