Schloss Mayerhofen in Kärnten ist ein historisches Schloss aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Es beeindruckt mit Renaissance-Architektur, Fassaden und einem gepflegten Schlosspark.           

Von Friesach Richtung St. Salvator liegt rechts neben der Straße inmitten einer großen Gartenanlage das Schloss Mayerhofen. Schon im Mittelalter als Salzburger Besitz urkundlich erwähnt, kam es über das Bistum Gurk in das Eigentum der Familien Gailberg, Aichelburg und Knappitsch. Zum Gutshof gehörten früher große Wirtschaftsgebäude und Stallungen, die mittlerweile abgetragen wurden. Eine Sage erzählt, dass ein Stier aus dem Gut Mayerhofen sich am Bein verletzte. Er trottete zum Berghang gegenüber des Guts und hielt seinen Huf ein eine Quelle. Da sich sein Zustand augenscheinlich rasch besserte, wurden die Leute auf den Wasserlauf aufmerksam und erkannten die heilende Kraft. Die Herrschaft Mayerhofen ließ im Jahre 1512 eine Kapelle errichten, bald folgte ein Badehaus, aus dem sich ein kleiner Kurbetrieb entwickelte, der bis zum ersten Weltkrieg als Barbarabad weitum bekannt war.
