Immerse yourself in the historical past of Austria
The historic building is located on the outskirts of Graz, Austria – about 2 hours from Vienna by car. The castle stands in the middle of a beautiful garden. the entire arial offers a wide range of sights. On the one hand the castle with the state apartments, the old gallery, the coin cabinet and the archeology museum. At that time, the Eggenberg family became rich through the minting of coins, and you can see that in particular in the state rooms.
The main building is based on astronomy. This is best seen in the most beautiful rooms, on the 2nd floor. The shell and the courtyard are kept rather simple. The state rooms can only be visited with a guided tour – which has the advantage that not too many people are present at once and the guides are very competent.
The highlight of the whole tour is the planet hall. The pictures show the days of the week, as well as the important family members as deities in one. The zodiac signs are also hidden in the pictures.
All in all, it is always a breathtaking experience to visit the castles of Austria and see what they created and how they once lived.
