Feistritz Castle

Schloss Feistritz is a castle in Ilz, Styria, with medieval foundations dating to the 12th century and first documented in 1122. The current main building was reconstructed in 1570 following a fire in 1605. Now serving as the Fachschule für Land- und Ernährungswirtschaft (Technical School for Agriculture and Food Management), the castle underwent comprehensive renovation in 2010-2012 and features a four-winged structure with round towers at two corners. It hosts cultural events, weddings, concerts, and readings, complemented by the sculptural Garden of Encounter on its grounds.
