Schloss Trautenfels
About This Museum
Perched on a solitary hill where the Enns Valley opens up, Schloss Trautenfels has been keeping watch over this stunning corner of Styria for centuries. It’s the kind of place where history feels immediate, with the raw, dramatic peaks of the Grimming mountain looming right behind its baroque walls. Inside, you won't find sterile displays; instead, you'll stumble upon the real, everyday objects that shaped life here, from ancient Roman relics dug from local soil to intricately carved furniture and vibrant traditional costumes. The castle itself is a character in this story, its halls and staircases echoing with the footsteps of all who have lived and worked within these lands.
Collection Highlights
Look for the fascinating 'Grimming Tor' exhibit about the mountain's role in local lore, and don't miss the rooms dedicated to folk art, filled with painted chests and delicate pottery that speak of regional craftsmanship.
