Schloss Horn, Medieval castle in Horn, Austria.
Schloss Horn is a stone castle in the Lower Austrian town of Horn, built at the confluence of the Taffa and Mödringbach rivers. The structure features a renovated wing with four suites, modern bathrooms, and kitchen facilities for visitors.
Construction of the castle began in the 12th century as a two-tower fortress built by descendants of Bavarian Count Gerold. Over centuries, the structure evolved into the castle that stands today and now welcomes visitors.
The castle chapel has been dedicated to Saint Pancratius since the 14th century and continues to serve as a venue for weddings and baptisms. Visitors can sense the spiritual purpose of these spaces as they walk through the building.
The grounds are easily viewable from outside and the renovated rooms are accessible, especially for those planning an overnight stay. It is best to arrange in advance, as the suites are limited and availability varies seasonally.
The Hoyos family still resides in this protected monument while renting portions of the castle to guests. This blend of private residence and hospitality gives the place an authentic, lived-in character.
