A glimpse inside Mozart's former haven

The castle, constructed around 1130, has quite the impressive footprint. Over 50 rooms? Check. Four bedrooms? Check. Three bathrooms, five half-bathrooms, and 2500 square meters sprawled across four levels? Check. Add 3.7 hectares to the mix, and you've got a estate that screams opulence.

Tracing History's Footsteps

For 26 years, Linz entrepreneurs Reinhard Zellinger and his wife Rita breathed new life into this relic, channeling their wealth into restoring the property and transforming it into a mecca for classical music, theater, and elegant events. The castle became a haven for Mozart fans alike.

The legendary count Franz Walsegg, who commissioned Mozart's Requiem, proved a vital influence in the castle's history
