Lake Castle Ort

Welcome to Seeschloss Ort!

The Schloss Ort, picturesque located on a tiny island in Lake Traunsee, is not only one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut, but it also has exciting stories to tell: such as the legend of the giant Erla, who is said to have built the castle out of love for the Traunsee nymph Blondchen.
