Schloss Rosenberg (Rosenberg Castle), Zell am See (must see)
The former Rosenberg Castle is located in the center of Zell am See and today is the seat of the mayor and city council (Rathaus). The Castle was built in 1583 by two tradesmen, brothers Karl and Hans Rosenberg. Through the centuries, it was owned by Rosenberg's descendants, then resold several times, being at times, besides a private residence, also a beer brewery and a college. The last private owner was Franz Lürzer, in 1820. In 1842 it became federal property for various seats and offices. In 1970, it became the Town Hall. The castle's architecture is typical for residences in the Salzburg region: a four-story chalet, with quadratic foundations, slated roof, four corner towers and one at the center, a truly Austrian sight.
