Castle Deutschlandsberg

Deutschlandsberg

The castle of "Lonspercher" is a landmark of Deutschlandsberg, the view in itself is worth it.

Especially rewarding is visiting the Archeo Norico Castle Museum, where the former residential and representative buildings of the Deutschlandsberg Castle are adjacent to it.

On a foothill of the Koralpe, which merges into the Laßnitztal and West Styrian hill country, Deutschlandsberg Castle rises on a rocky spur, excellently protected by its natural location.

Archaeological finds from the Copper Age / Neolithic period provide evidence of an early settlement of the later castle area dating back over 6500 years. Originally, the castle was the administrative center for large estates in the region, which were under the control of the Archbishopric of Salzburg. The first documented mention of Friedrich von Lonsperg as Burggraf dates back to 1153. Large-scale renovations and extensions to the castle date back to the Gothic period, such as the mighty keep and its outbuildings built around 1300. Today's hotel wing (Kuenburgtrakt) and the Knights' Hall (castle restaurant) belong to the Renaissance period, i.e. the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

The medieval core castle houses the Archeo Norico castle museum with a variety of exhibitions and the keep with its viewing platform. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
