Haunsperg Castle
Haunsperg Castle is a former aristocratic residence in the municipality of Oberalm in the Austrian state of Salzburg.
The castle was first mentioned in a document around 1365, when it was owned by Ekhart Prennär von Haus. In the same year, the property was sold. In 1388, Michael von Haunsperg acquired the estate. The owners changed several times until 1899, when the entire estate was purchased by Adolf Mautner Ritter von Markhof and his sister Marie, married since 1911 to Rudolf von Thun und Hohenstein, district governor of the Hallein administrative authority from 1896 to 1900. In 1938, Haunsperg passed into the possession of the Countess's nephew, Emmerich Gernerth-Mautner Markhof.
Georg Gernerth Mautner Markhof and his wife Erika-Therese now run the estate as a castle hotel.
