Das Geheimnis von Schloss Orth

This biography is about the emergence of the Orth dominion and its castle buildings through the last thousand years. As an architectural jewel at the beginning of the Salzkammergut, known far beyond its borders, its history also reflects the historical development of the country of Austria. The contrast between the highest art, culture and world history with its intrigues and lost opportunities forms the background of this history of the Orth country castle and also shows a little bit of a moral picture of Austrian politics. At the same time, however, the everyday life of the last millennium in this country is documented and depicted with numerous illustrations.
