Schloss Ort, Renaissance castle in Gmunden, Austria.

The castle stands on a small island in Lake Traunsee, connected to the mainland by a 123-meter wooden bridge spanning the water.

Knight Hartneid von Ort established the initial structure in 1080, followed by continuous improvements through the thirteenth century to form the current castle.

The castle serves as a representation of Renaissance architectural principles, featuring design elements characteristic of Upper Austrian noble residences.

The Federal Ministry for Land and Forestry operates a study center within the castle, making it an active educational institution.

A German-Austrian television series filmed at the castle from 1996 to 2004 transformed it into a recognized filming location throughout the region.
