The history of the magnificent moated castle began in 1676 when Count Ferdinand Franz Albrecht von der Wahl acquired the property.
In the years 1691-1705 the castle was built in the style of the Bavarian baroque according to the plans of the architect Enrico Zuccalli. Precious frescoes and stucco work, an imposing park with cascades, mazes and water features (unfortunately no longer existent today) and the Marstall - stables with marble columns - are among the architectural highlights. Until 1745, work was done on the equipment and interior design.
In 1830 the property passed to the Counts Arco from the nearby village St. Martin. In 1836 part of the castle was adapted to become Austria's first sugar factory.
In 1927 the moated castle was one of the first objects in Upper Austria to be listed as a monument.
In 1925 the abandoned castle was bought by the retired postmaster Carl Schappeller, who was said to have occult powers. Born in 1875 in the alms house of Aurolzmünster, Schappeller developed into a self-proclaimed inventor, visionary and ingenious imposter. Over time he found more and more sponsors for his unusual future projects, like his "energy machine", which should generate energy from nothing or his "elementary power fabrication aggregates", which should extract silver and platinum from the earth's interior.
The turning point occurred when the former German emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II generously supported him. Schappeller began to renovate the castle and spent money like water.
On March 6th, 1930, an insolvency forced him to leave the castle. But in the same year Schappeller returned triumphantly with a new project, which he had already spread through the media in advance - he was looking for the grave and treasure of Attila, King of the Huns, in the castle courtyard. But this phantasm lasted only for a short time because excavations in 1932, did not bring any real results besides lurid headlines in the world press.
In 1947, Schappeller died amid the financial chaos he had caused in Aurolzmünster. He is buried in the local cemetery with the inscription "Carl Schappeller, private, physicist and castle owner" together with his wife Anna, “the castle owner's wife”, and their daughter Anschy.
After these eventful years, the property changed hands several times and fell into disrepair. In 1994 the Dr. Spiegelfeld-Schneeburg KG purchased the castle.
After an initial emergency refurbishment, another general renovation was carried out in 2003 with a construction cost volume of 9.5 million euros. Intense 18 months later, the baroque moated castle shone again in the former splendor of its heyday.
In 2008 the Schlossverwaltungs AG – a consortium of four foundations - bought the castle in Aurolzmünster. Due to the limited decision-making authority of the managing directors and the lack of a strategy, the castle was again left to decay.
In 2020 the Schlossverwaltungs AG went bankrupt and the Ungar family took over the helm.
After two years of project development, the castle is not only impressive looking and beautifully renovated, but the cost-effectiveness has also been ensured.
The Innviertler Versailles offers now a wide range of possibilities - from the event castle, wedding location, seminar location, boutique apartments to leisure activities with castle tours and escape rooms. There is also a castle shop with regional products as well as a café, a restaurant, and an outdoor dining area in the Innviertel Versailles.
The moated castle is still surrounded by a moat. Essential is the two-storey central building, which contains a ballroom that extends to the top floor. This is placed on the central avant-corps and has beautiful ceiling painting and garden landscapes on the side walls. This main building is connected by low wings, enclosing the courtyard to two pavilions with two floors each. The south side of the courtyard used to be closed off by an iron grating that no longer exists.
Then as now, the Innviertler Versailles is above all a place of retreat - for those seeking peace and quiet and for individualists who want to experience history and feel the splendor of ancient times.
A total of eight unique rooms and suites are available, in which you can enjoy the tranquility and the beautiful ambience of the Innviertler Versailles.Each room has its own character, modern and elegant interior design, and offers an integrated kitchen area.

There is also the option of holding outdoor events in our castle courtyard. The capacity here is 3500 people - such as our “Castle Advent Market”.
The Innviertler Versailles has on its premises its own Escape Room. uring this game, players are locked in a room having 60 minutes to escape. They can only succeed by solving puzzles and following clues which are in the room.
In our escape room - called "The Energy Machine" - we take up part of the history of the castle. The players must activate the invention of former castle owner Carl Schappeller in order to successfully escape.
Escape room bookings are fully automated.
