More than 1,000 years of growth.
The so-called „Prince Bishop’s Rooms“ are among the castle’s most impressive. Located on the second floor of the High Castle, these representational rooms of the prince-bishops with their baroque furnishings are artistic jewels known far beyond the country’s borders.
„Seggau Castle“ is also home to the largest historical bell in Styria: the so-called „Seggauer Liesl“. It is still rung by hand at 12 noon on Sundays and public holidays. The baroque Lady Chapel and the modern Chapel of St. Michael with works by contemporary Styrian artists provide a fascinating juxtaposition of past and present.
Since 1954 Seggau Castle has housed an educational center, for courses with a mainly religous focus. The former farm buildings and stables have been converted to seminar and guest rooms. At the beginning of the 90’s, construction began to develop a modern congress and conference center. This conversion was completed in 2009, so that, in addition to the contemporary congress and conference center, today there is a modern, newly designed hotel that meets the requirements of the 21st century and harmoniously unites tradition with modernity .
In the wine shop, products reflecting Styrian culture are offered for sale, each of which combine honesty with cosmopolitan flair. Seggauer wines, fine spirits, various Styrian specialties, as well as wine accessories and wine literature can be purchased here.

For the civil ceremony, you can choose between the „Prince Bishop Rooms“ and the „Bell Meadow“. For the church wedding., you have the option of either the baroque castle chapel (a Lady chapel) or the modern Chapel of St. Michael. each with its own special atmosphere. The agape – a cordial gesture to your wedding guests – can take place on the „Bell Meadow“ with its wonderful panoramic view over the Mur River and the Sulm Valley, in the castle courtyard with its rose garden or on our spacious castle tavern-terrace.
