Emslieb Castle

To be privately owned

Emslieb Castle, also known as Villa Strongfort, is a building in Salzburg-Morzg. It was built in the early 17th century in the Italian style. Its architectural design served as a model for the Crown Grotto of the Hellbrunn Water Features.

History+

The castle was constructed in 1618 by Jakob Hannibal von Hohenems, the nephew of the then Prince-Archbishop and High Court Marshal. It was a scaled-down replica of the Pallazio Gallio in Gravedona. After the death of his uncle Markus Sittikus in 1619, Jakob Hannibal von Hohenems had to leave the region. In 1620, Prince-Archbishop Paris von Lodron took over the property and gifted it to Thomas Perger, an archiepiscopal councilor, who was then allowed to call himself Perger von Emslieb.
