Schloss Schwanberg, Renaissance castle in Bad Schwanberg, Austria

The castle exhibits a trapezoidal architecture with columned arcades surrounding an inner courtyard on all four sides, featuring ornate stucco ceilings from 1710 and 1790.

Originally constructed in 1200, the castle underwent major reconstruction in 1581 under Wilhelm von Galler, as documented by an inscription on the portal.

The castle chapel, consecrated in 1778, contains a baroque altar with a painting of the Annunciation that underwent restoration work in 1977.

Following its closure as a state nursing home in 2015, the castle was sold to a real estate development company in 2021 for future development purposes.

A granite memorial stands on the grounds since 2006, commemorating the nursing home patients who lost their lives at Hartheim Castle during National Socialist rule.
