Schloss Mamling, Heritage castle in Mining, Austria
Schloss Mamling is a two-story castle building in Mining with a square-shaped entry tower positioned on elevated parkland that once featured a surrounding moat. The chapel dates to 1671 and displays religious architectural forms characteristic of that era.
The castle appears in records from 1297, when it was held by the von Mamling family and remained in their ownership until 1519. The property changed hands after that period.
The chapel beside the castle was built in 1671, and in 1675 Johann Kaspar Freiherr von Lerchenfeld endowed a benefice there. The Elrechinger family, earlier owners, had a burial chapel in Mining. A coat of arms emblem on the building recalls former owners.
Schloss Mamling is a private residence, so visits are limited to events such as the Frühlingsfestival, Metalfest Open Air Austria 2012, and the Afrika Fest. The castle stands slightly elevated above the surrounding lawns, a reminder of the filled-in moat. The chapel was scheduled for renovation in 2015.
