Schloss Oberweis, Heritage castle in Laakirchen, Austria

Schloss Oberweis presents a three-story building with a hipped roof, overlooking an artificial pond with a small island in the landscaped grounds.

First mentioned in 1383 as a fief of Ulrich Aboltinger von Abolting, the castle underwent renovations in 1843 that established its current appearance.

The castle functions as a performance venue during the Salzkammergut Festival Gmunden, connecting regional arts with historical architecture.

The privately owned estate operates as a residential complex managed by Carvatech GmbH, with limited public access under heritage protection regulations.

During World War II, the castle served as Lebensborn Home Alpenland, housing children as part of the Nazi organization's activities.
