Only 80 km south of Vienna, Burg Feistritz is nestled in the green hills of the Wechselland. For many years, it has opened its doors to larger, closed groups looking for a private, cultivated and historic ambience for a shared experience.
Centuries of development, careful renovations and cultural wealth have influenced the fortress and turned it into an inviting and stately castle.

In the flow of water, people and history
The Slavic name Feistritz is derived from Bystrica and means flowing water. Feistritz is still the name of the small village and the beautiful small river that runs through it, as well as the name of the medieval castle that rises above the village.
Built in the 12th century as a defiant fortress to protect against warlike invasions from the east, fresh running water from its own springs has been a prerequisite for life and survival within the castle's thick walls to this day.
After surviving three Turkish wars, the medieval fortress was extended in the 17th century and the defiant castle was transformed into a homely palace. The beautiful arcades in the courtyard and the pretty staircase date back to this conversion.
In the spirit of early Romanticism, an English landscape garden with sculptures, ponds, grottos and sculptures was created in the 19th century. The interior of the castle was furnished with precious collections of weapons and art objects and a private castle theatre was built, with the castle lords already becoming patrons of art and culture at that time.
As with almost all castles and palaces in Europe, there have always been periods of construction and decay in the almost 1000-year history of Burg Feistritz. Castle families came and castle families went, shaped by war or peace, the spirit of the times or their own personal fates.
The current private castle family has resided at the castle for almost 60 years. They are happy to selectively open the large gates for closed groups of people who are looking for peace and inspiration in the beauty and privacy of the old walls to create or experience together for several days.
Thus, Burg Feistritz has developed into its own stage for music, art and science or for larger private parties. The guests become part of history, their own stories carry them out into the world.
And the clear and healthy water of the old springs continues to flow in and around the castle as it did 1000 years ago.
