Schloss Lamberg

Schloss Lamberg is a castle in Steyr situated on a rise where two rivers meet, featuring thick stone walls, multiple towers, and extensive gardens surrounding the main building. The rooms display furniture, weapons, and objects from different periods that give a sense of daily life in the castle.

The castle was founded in the 14th century and shaped regional control through its strategic location for centuries. It underwent reconstructions and expansions during the Renaissance and Baroque periods that significantly altered its appearance.

The castle functions as a cultural venue today, hosting regular exhibitions focused on regional history and artistic traditions. Visitors encounter rooms that still reflect how people lived and used these spaces in past centuries.

The castle is open to visitors most days, with guided tours allowing access to the medieval rooms and gardens. Expect some climbing since the castle sits elevated above the town, so comfortable shoes are advisable for exploring the grounds.

The castle still preserves traces of its original medieval defenses but consists of elements from different building periods, showing how architecture evolved over several centuries. Visitors can observe how different building techniques and styles exist side by side within the same structure.
