Schloss Ort is a complex of two castles on Lake Traunsee and is located in the town of Gmunden. It consists of the better known lake castle on an island in the Traunsee and the country castle connected over the bridge. The Seeschloss is one of the oldest buildings in the Salzkammergut. Schloss Ort – meaning the lake castle – was first mentioned in a document in 909 and later in 1053. Originally the castle was a moated castle, but was rebuilt in its present form after the fire in 1626. A special feature of the castle is the clockwork from 1634, which today still has to be wound by hand every day. Today the castle houses the Orther Stub’n restaurant and the Orther Stub’n souvenir shop. In addition, events (concerts, readings) and up to 362 weddings a year take place here. The Orter Bay silting zone in the west of the Seeschloss is under nature protection.
