Former fortified castle, which turned into a "monastery castle", in Bruck an der Lafnitz in eastern Styria.
Vorau Monastary has owned this former refuge fortress since 1616. Rebuilt in its present form around 1700, it houses six chapels, the parish church and a knights’ hall with an imposing series of frescos by monastery painter, Johann Cyriak Hackhofer. Occasionally, there are special exhibitions.
