Schloss Bertholdstein, Benedictine abbey and château in Fehring, Austria

Schloss Bertholdstein stands at an elevation of 336 meters, featuring a substantial stone structure with architectural elements from multiple construction periods.

The fortress was established between 1170 and 1179 by Berthold I of Emmerberg, a ministerial of Traungau who received land in the Raab Valley.

The building served as a Benedictine convent of Saint Gabriel from 1919 to 2008, where nuns practiced watercolor painting and created stained glass works.

The castle complex sits at coordinates 46.9314°N 15.9564°E and remains accessible through designated pathways in the Styria region.

The castle appeared as a filming location in March 1968 for the cinematic adaptation of Franz Kafka's novel 'Das Schloss'.
