Getting married at Ort Castle

Saying “I do” at Gmunden’s most famous landmark

Ort Castle is a beautiful location for any kind of event. And one of the most popular places to get married in the whole of Austria. More than 350 couples take their vows here each year. The lake castle is not only equipped with a registry office with a beautiful wedding room as well as a chapel for church weddings, but with spaces for the festivities afterwards too. If the weather is fine it is even possible to enjoy an aperitif in the inner courtyard.

The impressive, historic wooden bridge connecting Ort Castle to the mainland is also known as the ‘sighing bridge’. For every groom who successfully carries his wife-to-be over this symbolic, 123m long threshold cannot help but breathe a sigh of relief.
