Maria Loretto Castle

Maria Loretto Castle is a beautiful and historic castle magnificently situated on a small peninsula directly on the eastern shore of Lake Wörthersee. Its idyllic location offers stunning views of the lake and the surrounding landscape, making it a picturesque landmark. Built in the 17th century by the noble House of Eggenberg, the castle originally served as a pleasure palace. While largely a private residence today, its charming exterior and grounds are often accessible, allowing visitors to appreciate its architectural beauty and the serene lakeside setting. Visitors can stroll along the shore, enjoy the panoramic views, and imagine the history within its walls. The adjacent Capuchin Monastery Maria Loretto also adds to the historical and spiritual ambiance of the location.
