Schloss Schönwörth, Medieval castle in Langkampfen, Austria
Description
Schloss Schönwörth is a five-story brick tower in Langkampfen featuring thick walls and Gothic architectural details beneath a distinctive hipped roof. The property was later expanded with an additional tower, veranda, stables, and an enclosed park.
History
The defensive tower was built around 1360 by the Lords of Freundsberg as a residential structure in this region. Its current name was adopted only in the 19th century when it abandoned its former designation.
Culture
The castle's name reflects a 19th-century renewal and shows how the property gained importance during that era. Today it remains woven into the cultural landscape of Tyrol.
Practical
The property is privately owned and not regularly open to visitors. Information about possible visits can be obtained through the Langkampfen municipal administration.
Did you know?
A Russian prince named Alexander Wladimirowitsch Baratinsky acquired the castle in 1886 and transformed it significantly with a new tower and stables. This redesign by a prominent foreign family is still visible in the additional structures today.
