Schloss Lamberg Steyr

Schloss Lamberg sits at the point where the Steyr and Enns rivers meet, a position that would have been strategically obvious from the earliest settlement of the area. The current Baroque building dates from a 17th and 18th century remodeling of a far older fortress, and it now serves partly as government offices.

Schloss Lamberg above Steyr in Upper Austria occupies the confluence of the Steyr and Enns rivers, with a terrace giving the best elevated view of both rivers meeting. The Baroque building dates from 17th and 18th century remodeling of an older fortress and currently serves as government offices. The castle terrace is accessible; the Ennskai promenade below gives the same confluence view at water level. Free to visit the exterior. Steyr’s Gothic old town directly below the castle is one of the best-preserved in Austria and worth combining with the castle visit.
