Klessheim Castle

Klessheim Castle in Wals-Siezenheim, situated four kilometers west of Salzburg, represents a pinnacle of Baroque architectural achievement. Designed by renowned architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in 1700, the palace was built as a summer residence for Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun, reflecting the luxury and power of the Salzburg archbishopric. Since 1993, Casino Salzburg has occupied the palace, preserving its historic character while adapting it for modern hospitality. The casino features 232 slot machines, traditional table games including American roulette, blackjack, and poker, with alfresco gaming available on the terrace overlooking manicured English gardens. The 25,000-square-foot gaming floor honors the castle's aristocratic heritage while welcoming visitors from 18 years and older to experience entertainment in this elegant historic setting.
