Castle, Winery, and Cultural Center in Central Carinthia
Taggenbrunn was built in the 12th century by Tagenus von Pongau for the Archbishopric of Salzburg, on the remains of a Celtic-Roman ring-fort settlement (6th century BC). It's about a 50-minute drive from Hotel Lercher.
In the 14th century, Carinthia was governed from Taggenbrunn, and it remained under imperial ownership until the end of the 15th century. After that, Maximilian I handed Taggenbrunn back to the Archbishopric of Salzburg.
The castle complex was expanded into a modern fortification between 1497 and 1503 under Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach. Nearby, a granary, a steward's house, and a horse stable were built. Salzburg housekeepers and officials resided at Taggenbrunn until 1692. In 1796, Taggenbrunn was first referred to as a ruin.
Since 2011, the castle has been owned by the Riedl family of entrepreneurs. It underwent extensive renovations for years and was reopened in 2019 during the first Taggenbrunn Festival events.
The Winery
Carinthia isn't traditionally a classic wine region, yet excellent wines are grown across about 45 hectares in its beautiful Alps-Adriatic landscape, with a strong focus on time-honored traditions. To ensure the highest possible wine quality, tasks like pruning, canopy management, and harvesting are all done by hand.
