Description

Schloss Achenrain stands in the district of Mariathal in the municipality of Kramsach in the district of Kufstein in Tyrol.

The rectangular Baroque building was built from 1655 to 1658 by the founder of the brass works, Karl Aschauer von Lichtenturn. In the 18th century an east wing was added. From 1855 until the 2020s Achenrain was owned by the counts Taxis-Bordogna; since then it has been for sale.

In the central axis of the main front an octagonal tower with an onion dome projects. At the corners of the building there are oriels, likewise with onion domes. The portal consists of a rusticated surround and a triangular pediment. In the palace there is a chapel. The prayer stalls were made around 1660.

In the dining room there is a coffered ceiling marked C. A. 1658. A wall fountain is dated 1659.
