No registration is required for regular tours; just come to the castle gate. Special tours for groups are available upon telephone reservation at +43 3532 230258 in German, English, and Dutch.
Castle Murau, owned by the Schwarzenberg family, overlooks the town of Murau. The castle can only be visited within the framework of the offered guided tours.
The castle, first mentioned in 1250, was presumably built by Ulrich of Liechtenstein. The rule of Murau was long owned by the Liechtenstein family and remained in the possession of the widow Anna Neumann von Wasserleonburg after the family’s extinction. Anna Neumann married in her sixth marriage to the Count Georg Ludwig of Schwarzenberg in 1617. Georg Ludwig had the castle demolished in 1628 and constructed the Renaissance castle in its current form. Since then, the Schwarzenberg family has owned the rule of Murau.
The guided tours through the castle, which also lead through the art gallery, kitchen, dungeon, and chapel, provide an impression of life behind the castle gate and the history of the rule and castle of Murau as well as the House of Schwarzenberg.
