Peuerbach Castle, Renaissance castle museum in Peuerbach, Austria
The stone castle features architectural elements from multiple periods, including a preserved Renaissance entrance gate and sections of original defensive walls.
The Counts of Schaunberg constructed the initial fortress around 1370, which underwent reconstruction after a fire destroyed its library and armory in 1571.
The castle museum presents exhibitions about Georg von Peuerbach, a 15th-century astronomer who developed instruments and calculations that influenced maritime navigation.
The museum opens during the third weekend of each month from April to June and September to December, with operating hours from 10:00 to 16:00.
The museum contains over 200 traditional figurines depicting rural celebrations and festivals in authentic regional costumes.
