Schloss Wolfurt, Medieval castle in Wolfurt, Austria

The stone fortress stands on elevated ground with a central tower and residential palace connected by circular defensive walls.

The castle, first documented in 1217, served as the ancestral seat of the Lords of Wolfurt before becoming an abbey summer residence in 1402.

During the post-war period from 1945 to 1953, the castle functioned as headquarters for the French military administration of Vorarlberg region.

The castle accommodates 50 guests indoors and 100 outdoors, making it suitable for conferences, celebrations, and corporate meetings throughout the year.

Following a fire in 1939, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1940 using Gothic architectural elements based on designs by Johann Anton von Tscharner.
