Schloss Klessheim, Baroque castle in Wals-Siezenheim, Austria.
Schloss Klessheim is a Baroque castle in Wals-Siezenheim with a symmetrical facade and ornate decorative details. The building consists of several wings and features oval halls that structure its interior design.
Construction began in 1690 under Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, Austria's leading Baroque architect. The castle later served different purposes over time, including use as a casino during the Nazi era.
The castle reflects a blend of religious and aristocratic traditions, as it was designed as a summer residence for Salzburg's archbishops. The rooms show this dual function today, revealing how secular power and spiritual authority came together in the building's design.
The castle is located just outside Salzburg and is easily reached by local transport. Visitors should check ahead whether a planned event or exhibition is scheduled, as the site primarily functions as a cultural venue.
The oval halls combine French and Italian design traditions in an unusual way, showing how European styles flowed together in an Austrian building. This combination was innovative for its time and set it apart from other castle structures in the region.
