Es wurde zwischen 1488 und 1495 mit der kaiserlichen Bewilligung von Kaiser Friedrich III. von Heinrich und Siegmund Prüschenk erbaut und war eines der ersten Schlösser im deutschsprachigen Raum. Das Schloss hat einen besonderen Platz im Herzen der herzoglichen Familie von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha. 1823 von Herzog Ernst I. erworben, diente es den folgenden Generationen als österreichischer Wohnsitz und als Jagdresidenz. ![Theatersommer Grein](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/445881/738CD368AE19ECFB2C42B739429F629C6381410CD7D8165CCEE8437AF14460FA/theatersommer-grein.jpg "Theatersommer Grein") Theatersommer Grein ARTworkers has set itself the task of creating living theatre. The art of theatre is to touch today's modern society. We love theatre in all its diversity: as a centre for cultural encounters. As a mirror of our society. As an important escape from everyday life. Art opens up thoughts, spaces and feelings, for young and old, with humour or drama. What could be better than turning the venerable old municipal theatre full of history(s) back into an active meeting place for people interested in culture, where modern theatre merges with classical. Let's fill this theatre with applause and laughter again, which it more than deserves.
