Place description
Schloss Ort is a castle on an island in the middle of Lake Traunsee, located in the Austrian town of Gmunden. The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will captivate everyone, especially with its unique location and Renaissance architecture. The Ort Castle is not only a historical monument, but also a lively cultural centre, with numerous concerts, theatre performances and festivals throughout the year, attracting visitors from all over the world.
The castle itself is easily reached by a 120-metre-long bridge and you can walk around the castle, or rather the island, in a few minutes. It’s more of an island. However, you can see not only the castle, but also the nearby town of Gmundem or the already mentioned Traunsee Lake. The castle can be accessed for a small fee from Easter until the end of October.
In addition to the castle, we recommend a stroll through the adjacent gardens; it won’t take more than an hour and, especially in fine weather, you can enjoy the beautiful atmosphere on the shores of one of Austria’s largest lakes. And that’s only about 2 hours from the Czech border.
