Harbach Castle

Schloss Harbach is a well-preserved Renaissance castle located at the eastern edge of Klagenfurt in Austria's Carinthia region. The three-story stone structure with distinctive rectangular windows dates from medieval origins, first recorded in 1213 as a noble residence. Over centuries, the castle changed ownership multiple times, eventually serving as an educational and care facility for girls from the late 19th century until 2002. Administered by the Carinthian Protestant Foundation de La Tour, the castle represents an important piece of regional architectural heritage. While access is limited due to its private facility status, Harbach Castle remains a beautiful and historically significant landmark visible from the exterior near the scenic Wörthersee.
