Murstätten Castle

Murstätten Castle is a castle in Lebring in Styria, Austria.

In 1452, the Bishop of Seckau granted the court located at this site as a fief to Jörg von Fladnitz. In 1634, the building was called Lebrerhof zu Lebring and was owned by the Cistercian Rein Abbey. From 1728–1732, Countess Maria Katharina zu Saurau, née Countess Breuner, acquired this manor from Rein Abbey and, with her brother Ferdinand Karl Graf von Breuner, developed it into a stately estate. After numerous changes of ownership over the decades, in the mid-1970s, the castle and its associated park were dedicated to the Leibnitz Welfare Association, which converted the building into a district retirement home. From 2006 to 2007, the castle underwent extensive renovation and was converted into a senior citizens' residence with 16 residential units.
