History+
The construction of the Badeschloss took place between 1791 and 1794 according to the designs of Wolfgang Hagenauer, commissioned by the Prince-Archbishop Colloredo of Salzburg. The classicist serpentine portal, a work by Anton Högl, was completed in 1794. In 1807, the castle was converted into a public spa house. A redesign occurred in 1857, during which the building was demolished up to the first floor and rebuilt.
