Rothenthurn bed and breakfast - Castle apartments in Carinthia Austria

The Castle of Rothenthurn occupies a prominent position on the green, southern slopes above the village of Rothenthurn in the Drau valley. The building, which includes a small and beautiful private chapel, is notable for its picturesque skyline and romantic setting. The castle, as one sees it today, was mainly constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries, although its foundation and rich history go back as far as the 11th. Over the course of hundreds of years, Rothenthurn changed ownership many times until 1880 when Constantin and Marianne Graf von Norman-Ehrenfels purchased the domain. They were the great-great-grandparents of the present youthful owner, Georg, Baron Pereira-Arnstein who lives with his wife, Maria, in part of the building. In 2005, with great enthusiasm and dedication the current owners set about converting some of the historic rooms into a number of tasteful and comfortable guestrooms and apartments overlooking the private lake at the front, and the Drau valley at the rear with the mountains beyond. In honour of their ancestral past, each of the guestrooms and apartments is named after a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent of the owner. From Rothenthurn it takes only a few minutes by car to reach the beautiful Millstaetter Lake or the pleasant town of Spittal with its famous Renaissance Schloss Porcia. There is easy access to the hiking and skiing region of the Goldeck Mountains.

The Region The region of the Millstaetter Lake is the backdrop for a number of events promising excitement, fun and adventure. The 'World Bodypainting Festival ®' at Seeboden and historic festivities, such as the 'Salamancafest' in Spittal, the 'Kaiserfest' in Millstatt or the 'Ritterspiele' at the Castle of Sommeregg exemplify the multifaceted traditions around the Millstaetter See. Lake and Mountains The Millstaetter See is one of the most beautiful lakes in all Carinthia. Its clear and silky water invites adults and children alike to go swimming or boating. Water temperatures in summer are pleasant at around 20° C. Its southern shores, easily accessible from Rothenthurn, are unspoiled and allow for wonderful recreational walks with enchanting views of the lake and the mountains. For those who prefer the bicycle, a 33 km cycle path has recently been completed and challenges you to tour at your own pace around the entire lake.
