Schloss Glanegg, Grödig, Medieval castle in Grödig, Austria

Schloss Glanegg stands on a wooded hill at the western edge of Glanegg, part of the Grödig municipality in Salzburg. The rectangular building has three storeys, a tower-like central projection and a steep hipped roof whose structure was converted in 1920. A park surrounds it, with garden terraces to the south and a tall beech avenue leading to the Meierhof.

The castle was first documented around 1350 when it served as a seat of church authority. It later became a court building that administered territories along the Salzach River.

The name Glanegg refers to the small settlement on the wooded hill west of Grödig where the castle stands. The building cannot be visited, but the park, garden terraces and the tall beech avenue leading to the Meierhof can be seen from outside. The chapel at the foot of the hill, built by the physician Franz de Paula Storch, was consecrated in 1840.

The castle is privately owned and has limited visitor access, but can be observed from the surrounding paths and grounds. The best way to experience it is by walking around the property to enjoy views of the building and parkland.

Under Paris Lodron the castle was made part of a Talsperre, a barrier line closing the Glanegg pass: a wall was drawn toward the Untersberg to seal the gap and secure the hinterland of Salzburg. It was a defensive cordon, not flood control.
