Seeschloss Ort in Gmunden sits on a lake island in the Traunsee connected to shore by a 123-meter wooden footbridge, a configuration documented since the 10th century. The castle is now a wedding venue; the adjacent Landschloss hosts exhibitions. The bridge is freely accessible year-round and the lake reflection composition is the reason most visitors come. Gmunden is on the Traunseebahn from Attnang-Puchheim; the castle is 15-20 minutes walk along the lakefront from the town center.
