Weyer Castle is a charming Renaissance and Gothic-style fortress on the shores of Lake Traunsee in Gmunden, Upper Austria, constructed in 1596 by Abraham von Rorbach and elevated to "Free Nobleman's Seat" status by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1621. The castle features graceful arcaded courtyards and represents a harmonious blend of architectural styles from its era. Renowned for housing one of Europe's most important Meissen porcelain collections, Schloss Weyer operates as a gallery where visitors can view exquisite porcelain and silver treasures displayed throughout the castle. The courtyard and chapel remain occasionally open to the public, offering glimpses into its refined collections and historic ambiance.
