The two-winged Renaissance castle dates back to 1588. Further renovations were commissioned around 1670 by the canons Siegbert von Geilenkirchen and Thomas von Kandlberg. It is characterized by an arcaded walkway facing the courtyard. These arcades were enclosed by outbuildings until the renovation. The rooms on the upper floor also served as the official residence of the caretaker – and thus of the courts – for a long time. The Knights of Kast occupied the castle as a summer residence. The dilapidated castle was finally purchased by the municipality of Sierning in 1969 and renovated by the Traunviertel Cultural Association and the town of Sierning. An annex was added to the building, which houses the Sierning municipal office. Following the revitalization of the castle courtyard and the installation of state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a new castle café, it is now possible to host any event. The flagship events are the summer arts and crafts market with up to 10,000 visitors, the Sierning Advent with its Advent village in the castle courtyard, and the Guard Festival. Numerous cultural events and concerts take place throughout the year, both in the castle and in the covered courtyard.

Unfortunately, the position on Komoot is incorrect. The castle is located a good 6 km away near Rohr an der Krems, not on Linzer Straße next to Hall Castle in Bad Hall. Please correct this position, as otherwise the planning will be based on incorrect assumptions. The correct position would be 48.074749, 14.180378.

Caritas Senior Citizens' Home, Hall Castle The castle was originally a "liberated aristocratic residence" in 1644, originating from a bourgeois house. Hall was owned by the Trautmannsorfs until 1848, then by bourgeois owners. In 1941, the building was acquired by the Diocesan Caritas Association and converted into a retirement home. During World War II, it housed South Tyrolean resettlers; in 1944, the Linz Children's Hospital was housed here. In 1948, it was returned to Caritas, and since 1949, a Caritas retirement home has operated here. The building is two-story and has a tin-roofed mansard tower. The masonry is structured with plasterwork and has diamond-shaped ashlars at the corners.

In 1279, Feyregg Castle was mentioned in a document from the Lambach Abbey. The early medieval part of the castle, including the east tower and its immediate surroundings, is still visible from the time of the Followers (until 1407). The old Gothic gate, as well as a bay window and various vaults, can still be seen in the inner courtyard. Around 1500, the Sinzendorf family built the long wing of the old castle. Around 1600, during the Peasants' War, Feyregg suffered greatly and, after the Peasants' War, was sold to the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey in 1629. It became the residence of the provosts. This was arguably Feyregg's most prosperous period. It was also at this time that the castle was extensively rebuilt and given a Baroque style by the Upper Austrian architect Prunner. In 1809, the Spital am Pyhrn Abbey was dissolved, and in 1812, the well-known wealthy merchant Franz von Plank, a native of Linz, purchased the Feyregg estate. Otto and Ruth Harmer purchased the castle and the farm in 1937. It was thoroughly renovated that year, and in 1969, the hotel "Schloss Feyregg" was established in the old castle, offering all the modern amenities.

The extravagant Renaissance castle is a popular excursion destination in Pfarrkirchen near Bad Hall and, in addition to the Italian restaurant "Giuseppes Castello", offers a decor and garden exhibition, a ladies' and gentlemen's hairdresser as well as a digital and advertising agency. Old and new merge into a symbiosis in Mühlgrub. The garden with its beautiful accessories is my favorite here😍.
