small, quiet, good for a break 😉

The two-winged Renaissance castle dates back to 1588. Further renovations were commissioned around 1670 by the canons Siegbert von Geilenkirchen and Thomas von Kandlberg. It is characterized by an arcaded walkway facing the courtyard. These arcades were enclosed by outbuildings until the renovation. The rooms on the upper floor also served as the official residence of the caretaker – and thus of the courts – for a long time. The Knights of Kast occupied the castle as a summer residence. The dilapidated castle was finally purchased by the municipality of Sierning in 1969 and renovated by the Traunviertel Cultural Association and the town of Sierning. An annex was added to the building, which houses the Sierning municipal office. Following the revitalization of the castle courtyard and the installation of state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a new castle café, it is now possible to host any event. The flagship events are the summer arts and crafts market with up to 10,000 visitors, the Sierning Advent with its Advent village in the castle courtyard, and the Guard Festival. Numerous cultural events and concerts take place throughout the year, both in the castle and in the covered courtyard.

Unfortunately, the position on Komoot is incorrect. The castle is located a good 6 km away near Rohr an der Krems, not on Linzer Straße next to Hall Castle in Bad Hall. Please correct this position, as otherwise the planning will be based on incorrect assumptions. The correct position would be 48.074749, 14.180378.

In 1279, Feyregg Castle was mentioned in a document from the Lambach Abbey. The early medieval part of the castle, including the east tower and its immediate surroundings, is still visible from the time of the Followers (until 1407). The old Gothic gate, as well as a bay window and various vaults, can still be seen in the inner courtyard. Around 1500, the Sinzendorf family built the long wing of the old castle. Around 1600, during the Peasants' War, Feyregg suffered greatly and, after the Peasants' War, was sold to the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey in 1629. It became the residence of the provosts. This was arguably Feyregg's most prosperous period. It was also at this time that the castle was extensively rebuilt and given a Baroque style by the Upper Austrian architect Prunner. In 1809, the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey was dissolved, and in 1812, the well-known wealthy merchant Franz von Plank, a native of Linz, purchased the Feyregg estate. Otto and Ruth Harmer purchased the castle and the farm in 1937. It was thoroughly renovated that year, and in 1969, the hotel "Schloss Feyregg" was established in the old castle, offering all the modern amenities.

Achleiten Castle is a private property and is not normally open to visitors. However, it attracts numerous guests every year in June when the well-known CDI Achleiten dressage tournament takes place on the grounds. During this event, the riding facility and part of the castle grounds are open to visitors, so that interested parties have access to the tournament areas.

Unfortunately, the view of the castle from the entrance area on Schlossstrasse (title photo) is now completely overgrown and no longer available 😒, on Elfenweg you drive along the house wall (not a photo opportunity).

What the (in themselves pretty) photos of the group (Walter & Sonja) have to do with the castle in Eggendorf - no idea 🙄

The multi-towered castle was built around 1600. Today, among other things, the Schloss Mühlgrub cultural association is located in the historic building.
