Schloss Felling, Medieval castle chapel in Gföhl, Austria

Schloss Felling is a castle chapel set on a high terrace overlooking the Kremstal valley in Gföhl, Austria. The building displays architectural features from different periods of construction, showing how it was modified and adapted over many centuries.

This chapel belonged to an estate that was shaped by the Hohensteiner family from the 13th century until it passed to Johann Christoph Freiherr von Gudenus in 1699. The change of ownership brought new influences that left their mark on the building.

The estate was marketed in the late 20th century as a "Rose Castle", a name visitors still meet in tourism listings. The chapel stands alongside the former manor, now called a country mansion, and both belong to the heritage-protected complex in Felling. The Gudenus family, owners from 1699, gave the site its baronial name.

The building sits at an elevated position with open views across the valley, making it easy to spot from a distance. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the approach crosses uneven terrain.

Scientific analysis of wood samples from the ceiling beams and roof structures of the upper floors allows researchers to pinpoint the exact construction phases. This reveals how different generations shaped the building across several centuries.
