Schloss Wolfurt, Castle in Wolfurt, Vorarlberg, Austria

Schloss Wolfurt is a fortress with origins in the High Middle Ages, standing on elevated ground and featuring a central tower with an adjoining residential palace. The structures are connected by circular defensive walls.

Schloss Wolfurt is documented in 1217 and 1226 as the seat of the Lords of Wolfurt. In 1402 the Mehrerau monastery bought half of the castle, which became a summer residence for its abbots. In 1451 it passed to Austria and was granted as a fief to Bregenz patrician families. In 1530 Abbot Kilian Germann of St. Gallen bought the castle and fled here.

The name Wolfurt comes from the noble family that held the castle as its ancestral seat; a later owner, Hermann Gottlob von Greiffenegg (1775–1847), added "von Wolffurt" to his own name. From 1945 to 1953 the castle housed the head of the French military government for Vorarlberg.

The site is accessible year-round and accommodates various events in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Wear sturdy footwear as the grounds are uneven with multiple levels.

After a fire in 1939 destroyed parts of the building, it was reconstructed in the following years with Gothic elements. This reconstruction was based on designs by an Austrian architect and shaped the appearance visitors see today.
