Schloss Hochhaus, Castle building in Vorchdorf, Austria.
Schloss Hochhaus is a three-story building in Vorchdorf with modified walls and roof, featuring an elegant entrance door from the 18th century. Inside, the tower section houses a collection of local historical objects that document the area's past.
The building was constructed in the mid-15th century by a local nobleman and served as an important administrative center for the region during that period. The community of Vorchdorf took ownership in 1871, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
The name reflects the fishing heritage that once shaped this region, pointing to activities that were central to local life. The building itself carries traces of this past in how it is structured and used today.
The building functions today as a restaurant and inn, so you can visit for meals and refreshments in a welcoming setting. It is easy to find within the community and offers comfortable spaces for visitors to spend time.
A copper engraving from the 17th century shows the original layout of the complex before much of it was removed in the early 20th century. This historical image reveals to visitors how differently the structure once looked.
