Cultural Events

Stuppach Castle in Lower Austria is the ancestral seat of the Counts of Wurmbrand-Stuppach. It once housed the patron of Mozart's famous Requiem, which earned it the nickname “Mozart's Last Castle”.

History+

The first documented mention of Stuppach Castle dates back to 1130. Today's three-story building combines elements from various eras: The northern part with its 18-meter-high round tower forms the medieval core from the 16th century. The west wing, including the chapel, dates from the Renaissance period of the 17th century, while the southern area was built in the Baroque style of the 18th century. From 1763 to 1827, Count Franz von Walsegg lived at Stuppach Castle, who commissioned Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791 to compose his Requiem.
