Schloss Reichenau
Schloss Reichenau, Castle museum in Reichenau an der Rax, Austria
Schloss Reichenau is a castle and museum in Reichenau an der Rax, designed with traditional Austrian architectural forms. The building spans multiple floors with different exhibition areas and sits at the foot of the Rax mountain range.
The castle was first documented in 1256 and later came under the control of different rulers. Duke Otto IV took it in 1333 and subsequently granted it to the newly founded Neuberg monastery for administration.
The castle displays collections that document how people lived in this region across many centuries. You can see regional artworks and personal objects that show what daily life was like for inhabitants here.
The castle is reachable via the Südbahn railway line, which leads to Reichenau an der Rax station. Regular guided tours are offered from Tuesday through Sunday to explore the exhibitions and building.
The castle served as the summer residence of Emperor Charles from 1917 to 1918, marking the final stay of a Habsburg emperor in the building. This brief but historically significant stay connects the castle to the end of an era in Austrian history.
