castle in Attersee

Schloss Kammer

Schloss Kammer sits on the western shore of the Attersee, the largest lake entirely within Austria, and is one of the most painted buildings in the region. Gustav Klimt spent several summers at the Attersee between 1900 and 1916 and painted Schloss Kammer and its reflection multiple times.

Schloss Kammer on the Attersee’s western shore is best known as the subject of multiple Gustav Klimt paintings from his Attersee summers (1900-1916). The castle is a private residence not open to visitors; the view from the lakeshore path is freely accessible. The Klimt Trail along the Attersee connects sites where Klimt worked. Attersee village is accessible by bus from Vöcklabruck. The original Schloss Kammer paintings are in Vienna’s Belvedere and Austrian Gallery collections.
