Schloss Goldenstein, Heritage castle in Elsbethen, Austria
The castle stands on a rocky ridge above the former Salzach meadows, featuring an eight-story main building with several wings at 438 meters elevation.
The first documented mention of the castle dates to 1417, when Hans von Haunsperg owned the property, which later underwent extensive renovations during the 18th century.
The castle contains notable interior features from around 1600, including the Green Room and Knights' Hall, plus a courtyard fountain displaying the Salzburg coat of arms.
The property currently houses a private middle school and includes dormitories and a dining hall in the side wings constructed in 1882.
The guest book, started in 1790, recorded numerous visitors including Salzburg nobles, professors, and monastery brothers, with composer Michael Haydn being a frequent guest.
