Landscape Museum

Forest and timber, mountain and valley, religion and conviviality – the natural and cultural history of Styria’s Enns Valley, Palten Valley and Aussee lake district form the subject matter of the permanent exhibition at Schloss Trautenfels.

The desire to portray the natural and cultural history of the region comprehensively, encouraged the development of the museum in Trautenfels Castle for the Styrian Ennstal and Salzkammergut in the 1950s. After a general renovation in order to get ready for the country exhibition of 1992 the countryside museum has been remodelled in a completely new style. The castle itself is now displayed in all its splendour; modern architectural elements aim to surprise the visitor amidst the historical building.

Besides the magnificent marble hall and an impressive vaulted room with recently discovered frescos dating from the 16th century, 12 rooms with different themes from the natural and cultural history of the region await the visitor.
