Castles and Palaces in Carinthia
Hochosterwitz Castle
Carinthia’s landmark is one of its kind and is among the most impressive castles of Austria. This extraordinary enclosure with its 14 castle gates is just a few kilometres away from Klagenfurt. The castle was documented for the first time in the year 860 and was developed to its present form until 1586. Today, one can visit the castle museum and view its collection of weaponry, armour and objets d’art.

Hollenburg
Located in one of the most beautiful valleys of Carinthia, Hollenburg is majestically situated on top of a steep cliff. Documented for the first time in 1142, it is not only one of the most beautiful castles of Carinthia, it is also the cultural-historic centre of the Rosental valley. A special attraction for its guests is the 80 m long, covered bridge over which one gets to the castle gate and to the castle courtyard. From there a path leads to the keep, from which guests can enjoy a beautiful view of the Rosental valley.
Landskron Castle
Located near the enchanting lake Ossiachersee is one of the most beautiful such constructions of Carinthia. The foundation walls of a fortress from the 14th century form the fundaments of the castle built in1552. In 1812 it was destroyed by fire and since then is in dilapidation. Among other things, an outwork, the keep and the Gothic chapel are still preserved to this day. The castle ruin Landskron pampers guests with an exclusive restaurant, and animal lovers can enjoy the monkey park and the bird-watching haunt.

Porcia Palace
The Porcia Palace is probably the most famous Renaissance castle north of the Alps. The four-wing 3-storey palace from the early Renaissance period has been the property of the city Spittal an der Drava since 1938 and fascinates its guests, above all, with its inner courtyard with the 3-storey arcades. The museum of local history, whose focal points are the history and folklore of Upper Carinthia, is also worth seeing. During the summer months summer festivals are performed in the arcaded courtyard.
Velden Palace
The 2-storey renaissance castle with its striking four towers - located in the lively town at Lake Wörthersee - was built in the 15th century. In 1920 Velden was extensively renovated and adapted into a palace hotel. Since 1952 it has served as set location for numerous films and series such as “Ein Schloss am Wörthersee” ("A castle at the Wörthersee").
