The Schallaburg, about 5 km from Melk, counts among the most beautiful Renaissance castles north of the Alps. The origins of the castle date back to the time of the Middle Ages and resurface in the Roman living castle and the Gothic chapel, which can still be seen today. In 1572, the Schallaburg received its present appearance: the characteristic arcade courtyard, decorated with terracotta, as well as the extensive tournament fields whose modern face dates back to 1973/74. At the heart of the castle, you will find formal box tree ornaments, lined by beautiful singular examples of old timber and ornamental plants. Two apple orchards continue to underline the significance of fruit trees in the ornamental gardens of the Renaissance Age. Visitors are invited to take a rest in their shade ...
The Schallaburg is well known for its annual cultural and archaeological exhibitions receiving international acclaim.
