Schloss Kogl, 18th-century stately home in Sankt Georgen im Attergau, Austria.
Schloss Kogl is a stone residence built in the 18th century with multiple floors containing decorated rooms, frescoed halls, and a hunting-themed dining area. Surrounding parkland adds to the overall composition of the estate.
The Khevenhüller family built the estate in 1750. It passed to Baron Mayr-Melnhof in 1872, who then transferred it to Countess Kottulinsky in 1884.
The frescoed walls show scenes from Ferdinand Raimund's plays, painted by artists Engelhart and Komlossy who worked to transform the rooms into theatrical spaces. These decorations reflect the tastes of past residents who valued drama and the arts.
Visiting requires advance notice through the property management. The exterior grounds can be viewed, but the interior rooms remain private and off-limits to casual visitors.
The estate serves as a venue for film productions, corporate events, and organized hunting expeditions today. This dual role as both residence and event space gives it a working importance beyond its historical significance.
