Manorial houses and their stories: This is a very special hobby-horse of moderator Karl Hohenlohe, and the audience appreciates these insights very much. In the previous three highly successful seasons, Kari Hohenlohe has already portrayed 17 palaces and villas - and being in touch with their present inhabitants, learned many fascinating and intimate details about the properties and their owners.

Clever Contents is happy to produce the fourth season of "Austria's Noble Mansions" that will be broadcast starting the autumn 2019, focusing on another five manor houses presented by our cultural expert.

The Castle of Greillenstein in Lower Austria | Visiting Kuefstein Family

For half a millennium, this Waldviertel Renaissance castle has been owned by the same family. The Kuefsteins are happy to open their doors to visitors - and demonstrate the lifestyle and traditions of the historic noble family. The highlight is the medieval courtroom, in which all criminal records are still preserved! Grillparzer's "Ahnfrau" is still hanging on the wall scaring the guests with its presence.
Our expert for historic manor houses in Austria, Kari Hohenlohe, speaks with the castle manager Elisabeth Kuefstein, one of the great-great-granddaughters of the Empress Sisi, the actual castle owner Andreas Kuefstein and their daughters Marie-Carolin and Marie-Amelie as well as the the next inheritor of the Greillenstein castle, their son Karl.
