Description

Schloss Obermurau (also referred to as Schloss Murau) is a Renaissance castle located on the Schlossberg hill above the town of Murau in the Austrian state of Styria. The site has been associated with fortifications since the 13th century and has served as a seat of power for various noble families, most notably the Schwarzenberg family, who continue to own the castle today. The current structure, completed in the mid-17th century, is a four-winged Renaissance palace with Baroque interior features.
