Author’s recommendation
Burg Taggenbrunn war im Jahr 2011, als sie von der Unternehmerfamilie Riedl (Jacques Lemans Uhren) erworben wurde, eine Ruine. In den Jahren danach erfolgte eine respektvolle Restaurierung der Burg sowie der umliegenden Gebäude – ein Weingut, ein Boutique-Hotel, ein zeitgenössisches Museum, ein Alpen-Adria-Restaurant … entstanden. Weitere Infos finden Sie unter www.taggenbrunn.at
Wer auf der Burg essen möchte, sollte auch unter der Woche einen Tisch vorreservieren.
