Schloss Irlbach, Castle in Irlbach, Germany
Schloss Irlbach is a three-story castle featuring a central courtyard, several towers including a distinctive polygonal library tower, and connected residential wings. The grounds extend to include an English-style park, service courtyard, and auxiliary buildings.
The castle began with the Erlbacher family in the 13th century and passed through several noble families over time. Count Franz Gabriel von Bray acquired it in 1811, bringing changes to the property and its future direction.
The building reflects architectural history through its Gothic foundations, Renaissance additions, and 19th-century decorative elements inside. Visitors can trace these different periods as they move through the spaces.
The castle is located at Graf-von-Bray-Straße 12, and the surrounding park and auxiliary buildings are easy to view from outside. Access to different parts of the property may vary, so it helps to check conditions before planning a detailed visit.
A red marble plaque above the gate tower marks the 1560 reconstruction led by Carl von Fraunberg and his wife Eufemia von Puechberg. This plaque documents a significant renovation that shaped the building as visitors see it today.
