Schloss Herrnau, Medieval castle in Salzburg-Süd, Austria
Description
Schloss Herrnau is a three-story Baroque building in Salzburg-South featuring a steeply pitched hipped roof and a southern tower. The tower displays marble coats of arms from noble families, reflecting the residence's past importance.
History
Philip Vermeulen built the initial manor house in 1631, which was later transformed by a chancellor between 1741 and 1744. This renovation reflected changing tastes and the building's growing importance in local society.
Culture
The castle bears a name linked to a chancellor whose era coincided with religious upheaval in the region. This naming reflects the influence of powerful figures on local landmarks during that period.
Practical
The property is privately owned and not open to visitors for interior tours. You can view the building's exterior from the public areas surrounding it, including a good view of the southern tower from the nearby roads.
