Schloss Damtschach, Heritage château in Wernberg, Austria.

Schloss Damtschach is a château with three wings arranged in a horseshoe shape located in the municipality of Wernberg. The northern and western sections date to the 16th century, and the entire complex developed over time as a defensive agricultural estate.

The castle emerged from a fortified farm complex after nearby Aichelburg Castle was destroyed during conflicts between Emperor Frederick III and King Matthias Corvinus. This transformation reflected changing defensive needs in the region during the 15th century.

The chapel, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, replaced a church first documented in 1431; Countess Maria Isabella Galler had the present building erected between 1684 and 1695. It served as the parish church from 1787 until a new parish church opened nearby in 2003. The west portal bears the double coat of arms of the Galler and Staudach families.

The castle stands at the western edge of Damtschach in the municipality of Wernberg, about 10 km east of Villach. The English-style park and its structures are private and not open to visitors; the castle itself was restored in 1999 and the park was later restored to its original design.

An English-style garden created in 1824 features artificial ruins and late Gothic architectural elements set among the grounds. This design was uncommon for the region and reveals the cultural interests of the castle's 19th-century owners.
