Learning in the „Peace Castle“
Since 1980, the castle has belonged to the Federal State of Burgenland and is run as a museum. It also offers several seminar and conference rooms. The idea of creating a Friedensburg came from Dr. Gerald Mader, the regional councillor for culture. In 1983, the „Austrian Study Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (ASPR)“ was established in Burg Schlaining. Thus, a place of encounter and respectful dialogue was created.
After extensive renovation, Schlaining Castle in southern Burgenland, which was first mentioned in a document 750 years ago, is the venue for the anniversary exhibition „We are 100. Burgenland makes history“. Visitors can look forward to a show covering 1,300 square meters that uses multimedia to illuminate Burgenland’s 100-year history and bring it to life. The focus of this exhibition on the occasion of the 100th anniversary is above all on the people. The collection tells the success story of many generations of people who have lived and worked in Burgenland and focuses on gripping life stories and memories of Burgenland personalities.
