Schloss Porcia in Spittal an der Drau in Upper Carinthia / Austria is a Renaissance castle built in the 16th century in the style of Italian palazzo, and is sometimes described as "the most beautiful Renaissance building north of the Alps".

Today, Schloss Porcia houses both the “Museum for Folk Culture” and the “Gallery in Schloss Porcia”, a stage for theatrical performances and concerts, a library, as well as a coffee house. Every Thursday there is a farmers’ market in the castle courtyard.

In addition, the palace is used for events such as the annual “International Choir Competition”. The inner courtyard also turns into a stage for the “Porcia Comedy Plays” for 2 months in the summer, and every 2 years the “Salamanca Festival” takes place in Spittal in honor of the builder and first lord of the palace.

Opening times

Summer daily 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Winter Mo-Th 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
