Schloss Roith, Gmunden

Schloss Roith is a stone castle in Gmunden overlooking Lake Traunsee, built in traditional architectural style with multiple rooms that retain period details. The residence features surrounding gardens and displays typical characteristics of an Austrian noble seat from earlier centuries.

The estate was elevated to an aristocratic seat in 1596 by Emperor Rudolf II, marking the beginning of its formal status as a castle. Through the following centuries, it changed hands multiple times and underwent various phases of use and transformation.

The property contains a collection of over 6000 volumes and documents, including valuable incunabula assembled by the Roithberg noble family.

The castle underwent extensive renovations in 2008 and is now a private residence that maintains the character of a historic property. Keep in mind that this is an occupied home and visits require availability and permission from the owner.

The castle served as the primary filming location for the international television series Schlosshotel Orth, connecting it to a well-known Austrian production. This connection to the entertainment industry makes it particularly interesting for fans of the television drama.
