Who doesn't dream of owning their own castle? In the Gurktal valley in Carinthia, you now have the chance: Schloss Berg Klösterle, which has been completely renovated in recent years, is currently for sale.

"Auf da Sunnaseitn" of the upper Gurktal in the idyllic village of Zedlitzdorf is a historic castle for sale. Built in 1754 by Empress Maria Theresa as a baroque Carmelite monastery, the property has a living space of 555 square meters - including seven bathrooms and five toilets. The palace has been refurbished over the past 20 years.

What awaits the future owners of the castle
Four comfortable vacation apartments with space for 33 guests, a ballroom for sumptuous evenings, a party cellar for celebrating and a sauna for relaxing hours. The current banqueting hall once housed the monastery cells of the Carmelites and around 200 years ago the room was used as an elementary school before being converted into a party location in 1998. 

The property has a total of three floors.(Bild: zVg)

Meditative source with acoustics
The monastery itself consists of a square inner courtyard, which is surrounded on one side by a church - which is not for sale - and on the other three sides by the apartments. "A spring bubbles in the courtyard, gurgling from an old stone and inspiring meditation in the silence of the monastery," the castle is advertised. Music enthusiasts take note: The inner courtyard offers fantastic acoustics - unpack your recorder and start warbling.  

A dip in the cool water
The property, which covers an area of 3,565 square meters, has its own swimming pond to the south in front of the house. So don't forget your swimming trunks - the pond is also ideal for a dip in the cool water after a sauna session. Fans of high barrel vaults, thick stone walls and baroque wrought-iron window grilles with a penchant for partying and wellness should make a note of the castle - price on request.
