Schloss Fuschl is a castle in the municipality of Hof bei Salzburg, in the Land Salzburg in western Austria. It stands on a peninsula at the western end of Lake Fuschl, a glacier lake. It contains a collection of old master paintings,[1]: 425 and a museum holding objects relating to the film Sissi, parts of which were filmed in the castle.[2]
History
[edit]The castle was built in about 1450 by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg, who used it as a hunting lodge.[3] In 1816 the prince-bishopric of Salzburg was dissolved and the property passed to the Austrian state. It fell into disrepair.[citation needed]
By the 1930s it was owned by Gustav Edler von Remiz, who was a supporter of the Fatherland Front and was imprisoned by the Nazis in Dachau, where he died.[citation needed] His property was confiscated, and Schloss Fuschl became the summer residence of Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi foreign minister,[4]: 41 who used it for diplomatic receptions for Germany's allies. In 1955 the property was restored to the von Remiz family.[citation needed]
It was made into a hotel in the 1950s,[3] and is currently part of the Rosewood Hotel Group franchise.
