Röthelstein Castle, Baroque castle and hotel in Admont, Austria.

Röthelstein Castle stands on a hillside at 866 meters elevation with two corner towers and an octagonal chapel tower featuring onion-shaped domes.

The castle, constructed between 1655 and 1657 by Abbot Urban Weber, functioned as a summer residence for abbots from Admont Abbey until 1974.

During its history, the castle contained a collection of 370 paintings, which are now exhibited in Admont Abbey and the local museum.

The castle operates as JUFA Hotel, providing conference facilities, leisure activities, and dining services in a historical building near Admont Abbey.

In 1938, the German Reich used the castle as a summer camp for the Bund Deutscher Mädel and stored Heinrich Himmler's image collection.
