History
A real knight's castle.
Kornberg Castle was first mentioned in 1284. Its original function was clearly defensive. Strategically located and surrounded by mighty walls, it was intended to access to the nearby fortification of Riegersburg. In the 14
th century a chapel was constructed and consecrated to St. Andrew. During the 16
th and 17
th century, the fortification was expanded into a residential building. Since 1871, Kornberg Castle has been in the possession of Count Bardeau. In recent times, its magnificent Renaissance courtyard and fine restaurant has made it a very popular venue for weddings and other celebrations.

KNIGHT'S MEAL - Medieval dining at Kornberg Castle
By candlelight and between knights' armor, the knights' dinner begins with a ritual hand washing - as was customary for the knights of old. Then you enjoy beer and wine from earthen jugs while listening to medieval sounds. In addition, maids and servants serve dishes prepared according to old recipes, served on large skewers and flambéed at the table. An experience of a special kind. Whether at a personal or public knight's dinner.
