Schloss Böckstein, Château in Bad Gastein, Austria

Schloss Böckstein combines old German and English architectural elements, featuring castle and country house characteristics within its mountain surroundings in Bad Gastein.

Count Rudolf von Czernin built the original hunting lodge between 1882 and 1884, which was later reconstructed from 1902 to 1903 following a fire.

The castle reflects the architectural transformation of aristocratic residences in late 19th century Austria through its design by Josef Wessicken.

The château remains under private ownership by the Czernin-Kinsky family and does not permit public access to its premises or grounds.

The structure incorporates design elements from Friedrich von Schmidt's architectural school through his student Josef Wessicken, who collaborated with builder Angelo Comini.
