Renaissance Castle in Murau
Murau Castle is just a few minutes' walk from Murauer Gasthof Hotel Lercher, and the lovely walk there offers fantastic views!
Castrum Murowe
The „Castrum Murowe“ was first mentioned in documents back in 1250. The old Liechtenstein Castle Murau was likely built in 1356 and then torn down in 1628. The Liechtenstein family owned the castle for a long time until it was passed on to Anna Neumann von Wasserleonburg. She married Imperial Count Georg Ludwig zu Schwarzenberg in 1617. In 1628, Imperial Count Georg Ludwig rebuilt the castle into its present form in the town of Murau. This is when the square Renaissance castle without towers was created in the 17th century.
The chapel, the old kitchen, the Cat's Hall, and the Knight's Hall are especially worth seeing.
Today, Murau Castle is home to the forest administration, the castle museum, and the Schwarzenberg Archive.
In summer, there are regular castle tours. Just ask at the hotel reception for the exact times.
After your visit, Murauer Gasthof Hotel Lercher awaits you with Styrian culinary delights, Austrian variety, and a dose of inspiration to recharge. End your day with a delicious Restaurant menu.
