Guess this castle = 10 SBD!
It is Castle Monday again!
Good morning fellow Steemians. Today the stakes have risen, since I believe this is a more difficult castle to guess, and also our Steem price is unfortunately quite low. So put on your Sherlock Holmes hat and Google away!
This beautiful castle was first mentioned in the 16th Century, and is surrounded by an English style park. The tower apartments may be rented as vacation homes. To give away a little hint I have included the family crest (emblem).

OK since nobody else is guessing... Gmünd Ferienwohnungen Castle?
@terrylovejoy I am not sure how you do this, but it is amazing! I only had the post up 1.5 hours and you guessed it correctly! I believe you truly are a Sherlock Holmes of Castles.
You win the tip! 10 SBD Congratulations.
It took a good hour to find it...I don't know how I did it, I tried a few different searches. For some reason, the "schlosspark" or writing on the board might have tipped me off. I eventually got onto Gmünd and then a search for castles. I wish I had kept a log of what I did! I tried the family crest but got nowhere and was going to give up.
The correct name is Schloss Gmünd(Castle Gmünd), named after the town in Austria. The term Ferienwohnungen is German for Vacation Apartments. Here are some details on the Castle;
The oldest building in the city is certainly the castle. The appearance has been changed since the 12th century often by conversions and additions.
The economic and administrative buildings, which were located in the forecourt of the castle, were built only in the Baroque period, as well as the arched portal with a coat of arms cartouche, which separates the city castle from the town square to this day.
In 1859 Archduke Sigismund of Habsburg-Lorraine acquired the property. He made some changes and finally gave the castle its current appearance. Archduke Sigismund, who found his last resting place in the mausoleum at the cemetery in Gmünd, also commissioned the construction of the castle park, which has been owned by the municipality of Gmünd since 1985 and impresses with all sorts of botanical rarities such as paper birches, blood beech and North American cucumber magnolia.
In 1985, the Habsburg-Lorraine Gutsverwaltung sold the castle to a housing cooperative, which renovated it and divided it into condominiums.
Thank you for clearing that up, I was wondering about the meaning of the word. I really want to visit Austria after seeing these beautiful castles!
@terrylovejoy I just noticed @tipu only sent you 5 SBD instead of the 10 even though I deposited 15 SBD this morning. I will try to send you the additional 5 SBD separately.
