Schloss Goldegg, Medieval castle and folk museum in Goldegg, Austria.

Schloss Goldegg is a multi-story castle with a yellow plastered facade and a western tower with a marble entrance portal, located in the town of Goldegg in Austria. The thick walls and the rows of windows arranged across its levels are typical features of medieval construction.

The castle was built in the 14th century under the Salzburg Archdiocese and first served as a fortification to protect key trade routes. Over time, it was converted into a residence and passed through several different owners and uses.

The castle houses the Pongau Folk Museum, which displays everyday objects and traditional crafts from the Salzburg region. The collection shows how ordinary people lived and worked in this part of Austria over the centuries.

The castle has been owned by the municipality of Goldegg since 1973 and reopened to the public in 1981, after the 1981 state exhibition on Reformation and Emigration was held there. It now serves as a cultural and educational centre of the Pongau, housing the Schloss Goldegg painting academy and the Pongauer Heimatmuseum. Visitors enter from the east across a stone bridge through a round-arched portal into a small rectangular courtyard.

The Rittersaal on the second floor holds painted wooden wall panelling, a coffered scheme that replaced the medieval wall covering when Christoph Graf von Schernberg rebuilt the castle in the 16th century. A 1650 oil portrait of his descendant Konrad Graf von Schernberg's wife, Maria Barbara Ritz von Grub, hangs in the hall.
