The Nature Park House Gro\u00dfs\u00f6lk Castle<\/h3>\n

The small Gro\u00dfs\u00f6lk Castle was originally a rest and refreshment stop for muleteers on their way to the S\u00f6lk Pass.
In the meantime, part of the castle has become a museum and houses exhibitions and an event room.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/section>\n\n

Gro\u00dfs\u00f6lk Castle<\/h4>\n

The historic house was built in the 14th century and has always had an important function for the old trade routes over the S\u00f6lk Pass.<\/p>\n

Until the 17th century, the castle was owned by the respective sovereigns, who finally sold it to the Jesuit order in 1617.<\/p>\n

After the dissolution of the order, the house was a parsonage and since 1998 the castle has been the seat of the Nature Park House.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
