Top 8 Castles around Feistritztal

Whether from the outside or as part of a walk through the inner courtyards. The castle is really beautiful and perfect for many, many photos. When exploring the courtyards, take your time. There are many motifs worth capturing.

An interesting relic from a bygone era. It's a shame you can't go inside. Oh well. From here you also have a lovely view of Schielleiten Castle and, beyond it on the horizon, Riegersburg Castle. Above the ruins, there's a bench with an equally beautiful view!

The Castle Tavern Castle Tavern Castle Tavern Our country inn, located next to Thannhausen Castle, just 1.5 km from Weiz town center, has been in existence for 400 years. The Castle Tavern itself has been family-owned for over 100 years. Our family-run business primarily uses regional products to create culinary delights. The cozy guest room invites you to linger, and there is also a large hall for company parties or private celebrations (weddings, baptisms, birthdays, etc.). The quiet, idyllic garden also offers pure relaxation. The Castle Tavern also features an adventure playground and 5 comfortable rooms (10 beds). The 400-year-old area has been preserved (bar, guest room, and castle parlor). Recognizable by the vaulted ceiling and the "wooden tram" in the Thannhausen parlor. After Mr. Leiner's death, the property passed to Ludmilla Wünscher (née Leiner, Oberdorf) and then again in 1972 to Herta Pichler (formerly Wünscher). After her marriage to Heinrich Pichler, the Leiner Inn became the Schlosstaverne Pichler. In 1976, the major renovation of the Schlosstaverne began. Previously, the inn consisted only of the guest room and the Schlossstüberl (half of the Schlossstüberl was the kitchen), and the current bar area was an anteroom. The stable was demolished, and the hall was built there. The anteroom became the bar area. The kitchen was relocated to the space that had previously housed the sleeping quarters for the owners and servants. After 40 successful years, Herta Pichler handed over the business to her daughter Birgit, who continues to run the inn. In recent years, great importance has been placed on the renovation of the inn. The bar area was redesigned, the rooms were completely renovated, and the windows and facade were replaced. The Schlosstaverne shines in new splendor. Styrian Culinary Statement When a restaurant is packed to the rafters at lunchtime, even though it's located a bit out of the way, that speaks volumes. Birgit Neuhold and her mother put their heart and soul into their work here, pampering their guests with honest, unfussy, home-cooked food. They also manage to keep wait times short and keep prices truly reasonable. Hats off!

Today, Stubenberg Castle, freshly restored, greets the hilly landscape of eastern Styria. The 13th-century complex, which was expanded into a palace in the 16th century on the foundations of the old castle's farmyard, takes its name from one of Styria's oldest and most important noble families, the Lords of Stubenberg. From 1925 to 1979, Stubenberg Castle housed the Franciscan Convent of St. Joseph. In 1980, it became private property.

Due to its size and floor plan, the baroque church is often referred to as the "Styrian St. Peter's Cathedral". For those interested in culture, the Pöllau parish church with its magnificent baroque frescoes is definitely worth seeing.
