Description

Schloss Greinburg lies directly on the Danube in the Strudengau/Upper Austria. It belongs to the town of Grein in the Lower Mühlviertel. The castle is the landmark of the town and the oldest residential castle in Austria. Its present appearance is determined by the late medieval castle complex from the years 1488 to 1493 and the alterations of the 16th and 17th centuries.

To this day the castle is in private ownership and belongs to the family foundation of the ducal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Its historic state rooms, such as the Great and the Small Knights' Hall, the Diamond Vault, the sala terrena and the arcaded courtyard, as well as the Upper Austrian Maritime Museum, can be visited daily except Monday from May to October. As part of a guided tour of the castle, visitors also gain access to the richly furnished Coburg festive rooms.

Schloss Greinburg is one of the tourist sights of the Danube Cycle Path and of the Donausteig.
