Description

Schloss Weinberg is a palace complex in Upper Austria and lies on the Weinberg above the village of Kefermarkt in the Mühlviertel. The first castle on this site was built in the 12th century. The conversion into a Renaissance palace was carried out by Hans Wilhelm von Zelking around 1600. The Thürheim family bought the property in 1629. After it had become almost uninhabitable at the beginning of the 1980s, the state of Upper Austria leased the palace in 1986 for 99 years, renovated it and held a state exhibition in its rooms in 1988. Since 1989 the palace has served as a state education and music centre.
