Schloss Eybesfeld, Heritage castle in Lang, Austria

Schloss Eybesfeld is a castle in Styria featuring traditional Austrian architecture with multiple towers, located in the village of Lang. The ensemble is complemented by modern residential complexes designed under architect Manfred Wolff-Plottegg's direction.

First recorded in 1571 as Hof zu Jeeß and held by Stift Rein, the estate passed through the Breuner, Trauttmansdorff, Globitzer and Hemeter families. In 1633/40 Gottfried Freiherr von Eibiswald acquired it, rebuilt the Hof as a castle and gave it the name Eybesfeld; a Burgfried followed in 1635 and the Klauberhof with its 55 subjects in 1643. Since 1853 it has belonged without interruption to the Conrad family.

The name Eybesfeld comes from Gottfried Freiherr von Eibiswald, who rebuilt the farm into a castle around 1633/40. In the park, works by concept artists such as Heimo Zobernig, Michael Schuster, Max Neuhaus and Sol LeWitt were installed in cooperation with the owners. Bertran Conrad-Eybesfeld, fourth-generation descendant of Sigmund Conrad, runs the estate with his family as a cultural and economic factor of the Leibnitzer Feld.

The ensemble lies in the municipality of Lang in the Leibnitz district of Styria. The former grain store between the two western and north-western towers now holds seven guest rooms, renovated in 1996 and 2004. The Meierhof, an 18th-century four-wing farmyard, was converted around 2000 and its offices turned into rental flats after 2013.

The former grain store was built against the inner wall between the two western and north-western towers; separate buildings (stable, press, flour chamber, tower) were only combined into one structure in the 18th century. Renovated in 1996 and 2004, it now holds seven guest rooms, each following one of the seven deadly sins, with a colour scale and custom-designed furniture.
