Schloss Fuschl

Schloss Fuschl is a castle in the county Hof bei Salzburg, in the Land Salzburg in western Austria. It stands on a peninsula at the western end of the Fuschlsee. It was built in about 1450 by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg, who used it as a hunting lodge. In 1816 the prince-bishopric of Salzburg was dissolved and the property passed to the Austrian state. It fell into disrepair. By the 1930s it was owned by Gustav Edler von Remiz and his wife Hedwig, who lived there. Remiz was a member of the Thyssen dynasty. It was used as a location for the film Sissi and was made into a hotel in the 1950s. Today it is a Luxury Resort & Spa that retains a collection of old master paintings
