Schloss Trautenfels, Castle museum in Stainach-Pürgg, Austria.

Schloss Trautenfels stands as a magnificent baroque castle built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Enns Valley, featuring ornate stone architecture with multiple bastions and elegant interior chambers adorned with period furnishings.

Originally constructed in 1672 by Count Siegmund Friedrich von Trauttmansdorff, the castle replaced a medieval fortress called Burg Neuhaus that had been destroyed during 13th-century territorial conflicts between regional powers.

The castle houses extensive collections showcasing regional art, natural history, and cultural artifacts through its museum operated by Universalmuseum Joanneum, including the famous Marble Hall with frescoes by Carpoforo Tencalla.

Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours available in multiple languages, with facilities including parking areas, accessible pathways, and seasonal exhibitions displaying over 40,000 historical artifacts.

The castle grounds contain archaeological remains of a Protestant church built in 1574 and demolished in 1599 during the Counter-Reformation, with foundations uncovered during 1992 excavations.
