HISTORY

1440

Between 1074 and 1740 there were as many as 19 different families on the estate and castle Gobelsburg. The last aristocratic owner Freiherr Achaz Ehrenreich von Hohenfeld instigated the alterations of the Renaissance manor house into a handsome Baroque chateau in the first half of the 18th century.

The basic structure - two-storied 4 wings around a courtyard - stayed as it was. Renaissance style can still be seen today with the arcade in the courtyard and the vaulted Sala Terrena. The main modifications are very delicate Baroque ornaments on the three facades and huge tiled stoves thematically harmonized with stucco and painted ceilings in most of the rooms.
