Kalsdorf Castle
The Kalsdorf Castle is located in the village of Kalsdorf bei Ilz in the market town of Ilz in Styria . The castle is a listed building .
history
A farm was mentioned in documents in 1419. The property was owned by the Herbersdorfers until 1630 . The north and west wing were built under the Herbersdorfer. The portal on the north wing shows the year “1548”, the main portal shows the year “1579”. From 1656 to 1840 the castle belonged to Count Wildenstein , who had added the east and south wings from the second half of the 17th century. The east and south wings of the palace were badly damaged during World War II and rebuilt in 1947. The castle has been owned by the gallery owner Helmut Reinisch since the mid-1990s. Since then, exhibitions have taken place at night once or twice a year.
architecture
The three-storey four-wing building has a square inner courtyard. The two-story courtyard arcades stand on pillars on the ground floor and on slender stone pillars on the upper floor. The east wing has a three-storey pillar arcade in the courtyard, the south wing has two protruding corner towers with pyramid roofs and a main portal with the Herbersdorfer-Lengheim family's coat of arms.
Two stone lions, which were originally to the side of the staircase in Mariahilfer Strasse No. 1 in Graz, and later in front of the former St. Thomas Chapel on the Graz Schloßberg , came to Kalsdorf Castle. A stone lion stands today at the agricultural college in Hatzendorf . The second lion is in the Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz.
