history
The Stich family began brewing beer in Sorgendorf around 1603 and expanded the castle, estate and brewery between 1629 and 1813. In 1779 ownership passed to the Lords of Metnitz and in 1867 to the Thurn-Valsassina family. Around 1900 there was a significant expansion of the brewery. In 1921 it was taken over by Gösser Brauerei AG and incorporated into the Steirerbräu group in 1977. Since the closure, the brewhouse and machine hall have been used as exhibition and event rooms.
Building description
The Sorgendorf Castle in the middle of the complex is a cubic-looking building, the core of which dates from the 16th century and was newly faced in the 19th century. To the northwest is a large warehouse with a wide, windowless gable front, which is decorated with Art Nouveau ornaments. At the end of the old, two-storey brewhouse is Darre grown. This multi-storey building with a square floor plan is a four-story tower, which is structured by vertical bands and crowned by an octagonal chimney. The kiln was built in the second half of the 19th century and shut down in 1947. The machinery was not dismantled until 1982.
