Schloss Dornach, Heritage castle in Saxen, Austria
Schloss Dornach stands on elevated ground near the Danube River, featuring an octagonal tower and a terrace supported by Florentine-style loggias.
The initial manor house from 1455 was transformed into a neo-baroque castle in the late 19th century by Cornelius Reischl, incorporating medieval and Renaissance elements.
Swedish writer August Strindberg spent 1893 at the castle with his family, dedicating time to writing and painting in this Austrian setting.
The castle changed ownership in 2003 to architect Gschösser and the Ebenbichler family, who initiated substantial restoration works to preserve the structure.
The castle's terrace extends between two avant-corps along the facade, supported by a Florentine-style loggia that adds Mediterranean character to the Austrian architecture.
