Heuberg Castle, Protected castle in Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße, Austria
Heuberg Castle is a two-story structure located along the Salzach River in St. Georgen, measuring 28 meters long and 17 meters wide. The building underwent reconstruction in 1900, resulting in a simpler architectural style that remains visible today.
The castle originated around 1100 when built by Irmgard von Sulzbach as the Niederheim court, and was documented under its current name Heuberg from 1296 onward. Major changes came in the 20th century when extensive reconstruction shaped the building into its modern form.
The structure represents a significant example of Austrian architectural heritage, maintaining its status as a protected monument in the national cultural database.
The castle can be reached at Heubergweg 15 and can be explored from the outside to observe the architectural style from the early 1900s. The location near the Salzach River makes it accessible to visitors who want to view it from the surrounding area.
The Porsche family acquired the castle in 1970, creating an unexpected link between medieval heritage and modern industry. This connection reveals how historical properties can become part of contemporary business legacies.
