Wednesday, Cheshvan 8, 5779. October 17, 2018.
Shalom! World.
The Ort Castle. Gmunden/Áustria.
The Ort Castle. Gmunden/Áustria.
The Ort Castle have had many owners in the cause of its long history. A 130 m long wooden bridge brings you into the renaissance inner courtyard of the lake castle, which is owned by the town council of Gmunden since 1995 (In 1915 the castle were given to the Austrian Forestry Commission).
On the left hand side of the inner courtyard you will find flood markings meaning that the flood in 1594 reached a height of 2,97m in the courtyard of the castle, thus reaching the upper step of the stairway.
The castle tower, which more or less hides the chapel tower is dated 1092.
Shalom! Aleichem.
