Schloss Anif — Attraction in Anif

Schloss Anif is privately owned and not open to the public for visits. The surrounding perimetre is totally hidden by trees/shrubbery so its almost impossible to get a glimpse of this hidden gem.

My Mum who now resides in Austria found out about the "Open Day" by enquiring with the local church in Anif. Twice a year, once in summer and once in winter, the gates are open and you are permitted with the church as part of their Corpus Christi service celebrations allowed to join them and enter the castle gates to view this stunning castle on the moat and attend the service.

This year on the 19-06-25, we were fortunate enough to be able to join the procession and enter the private gates that are usually locked to the general public.

Aside from being from the UK, this is very special for Austrians alike who also get to be a part of a special day and view this stunning castle for a short period of time.

The castle is beautiful. Very much like a fairy tale movie.

We followed the procession, stopping to take pictures along the way and joined everyone in the castle's courtyard for the Corpus Christi service which is fully in German. Afterwards, you follow the loop round back to the gate but there was ample time to take in the scenery and take many pictures before being ushered out.

As part of the Corpus Christi celebrations, it only permits you entrance into the grounds and courtyard of the castle for the service, not the castle itself.

A magical experience. It was really worth getting up early for. A hidden gem on the outskirts of Salzburg city.

NOTE - On day of event - there are no toilets/refreshments provided so you have to be prepared if you are lucky enough to attend a service to join the procession to enter the castle gates to see Schloss Anif and attend the Corpus Christi service. You may not wander off of your own accord/no private tours/no visits to interior...

It is not possible to enter or approach the castle, do not try or you will waste time. the castle is part of a privately owned resort, and is located within a golf course...

Wenn man sich hier die Kommentare von lästigen Leuten durchliest, die nicht in das Privatschloss hineinspazieren durften, muss man sagen, dass es der Schlossbesitzer schon richtig macht! Es muss nicht jeder überall und sofort wo rein 😂👌🏻. Es ist ein wunderbares Schloss, umgeben von einem schönen Park. Und nein, es ist NICHT öffentlich zugänglich und wenn man sich vorher informiert, sollte man dann nicht lästig sein, wenn man vor geschlossenen Türen steht und komischerweise auch nicht...
