Park, Castle sights in Austria

1. Toscana Park & Seeschloss Ort

   • Gmunden, Austria
   • Sights › Park, castle

   Flanking the lake on the eastern side, a pretty nature reserve known as Toscana Park forms a backdrop to Seeschloss Ort. This castle on the lake is believed to have been built on the ruins of a Roman fortress. It dates from 909 or earlier (rebuilt in the 17th century after a fire) and has a picturesque courtyard, a late-Gothic external staircase and sgraffito from 1578. The Bummelzug, an electric train on wheels, runs to Seeschloss Ort from the Rathausplatz every 30 minutes from May to October.
