Dornach Castle
Dornach Castle is a castle located directly on the Danube in the municipality of Saxen in the Perg district in the Lower Mühlviertel in Upper Austria .
description
Originally there was a manor house , first mentioned in 1455 , which belonged to Frida Strindberg-Uhl's grandfather , Cornelius Reischl, who sold it in 1890 to Princess Maria Theresa von Thurn und Taxis , who converted it into a palace. Other owners were the Bragança family , Baron Viktor von Offermann, Robert Koller and the Taubländer family. In 2003 the Gschösser and Ebenbichler families (from Tyrol ) acquired the castle and began extensive renovations.
The neo-baroque building is enriched with elements of different style epochs. The tower on the east corner is octagonal and has battlements. The terrace, which extends between two parts of the building, is supported by a pillar arcade. Stucco ceilings from the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque styles can be seen on the upper floor .
In 1893 the Swedish poet August Strindberg lived in the castle with his family.
