Admontbichl castle

Schloss Admontbichl is a Renaissance castle in Obdach with multiple wings arranged around a rectangular courtyard. A hand-drawn well built in 1639 sits within the courtyard and demonstrates the water systems of that era.

The Benedictine Abbey of Admont acquired the estate in 1367 as a landed property and later developed it into a fortified castle. Its current form emerged through renovations and expansions from medieval times into the modern period.

The rooms contain artworks by regional masters and reflect the craftsmanship of those who built and decorated the castle over centuries. It served as a cultural hub for artists and skilled workers in the area.

Wear good walking shoes as the castle has stairs and uneven surfaces throughout the grounds. Plan visits during warmer months when the gardens and outdoor areas are at their best.

The castle has long housed a renowned horse breed in modern stables on its grounds. This tradition makes it a special destination for those interested in classical horsemanship and breeding heritage.
