The history of Schloss Lebenberg
The original name of the estate was “Pfaffenberg” according to the documented land holdings of Bamberg Abbey. It is not clear where today's name – “Lebenberg” – actually comes from, but some think that it derives from the Old High German "Hlev" (meaning hill). The first aristocrats to reside at the castle were the Ochsenberger family.

The first aristocrats to reside at the castle were the Ochsenberger family.
The name “Lebenberg” was first documented in 1531. In 1548, a map was drawn which depicted Schloss Lebenberg on a hill.
In 1693, the Prince Archbishop of Passau, Count Johann P. von Lamberg, acquired Schloss Lebenberg and two other castles (Münichau and Kapsbrunn). The Lamberg family played a major role in the history of Kitzbühel and governed the court of Kitzbühel from 1679 until 1840.
In 1885, Schloss Lebenberg underwent a significant expansion. Two tower-like additions on the narrow sides of the castle were constructed, as was the round stair tower. After the reconstruction, Schloss Lebenberg became one of the very first lodging establishments to welcome tourists to Kitzbühel.
In today’s castle wing, you will find eleven castle apartments, the Gobelinsaal ballroom and most of our restaurant areas. The old Renaissance doors with their engraved fittings and coffered wooden ceilings and the thick walls attest to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Middle Ages.
