Schloss Bayerhofen, Medieval château in Wolfsberg, Austria

The four-winged castle structure features a large inner courtyard with two-story open arcades and a three-story residential building on the western facade.

The first documented mention of the castle dates to 1239, naming Chunrad der Payer as its initial owner, and his family retained possession until 1539.

During the Protestant Reformation period, the castle functioned as a center for Martin Luther's teachings in the region of Carinthia.

The arcaded courtyard remains accessible to visitors, while the rest of the castle serves as a residential building under private ownership.

In summer 2019, the property changed hands from the Schnerich family, who owned it since 1807, to Franz Tatschl, a poultry farming entrepreneur.
