Local produce and agriculture at the hotel in Styria

The cuisine at Pichlschloss is closely linked to the estate’s own farming and the Murau region. Cattle and sheep graze on the pastures surrounding the building, guaranteeing meat of the highest quality. Trout swim in the castle pond’s clear spring water and are often served freshly caught and hot-smoked. During your holiday in Styria, you can enjoy freshly laid breakfast eggs from the colourful Pichlschloss chickens. Herbs and lettuces grow in the raised beds in the garden and are used directly in the kitchen without having to travel far.

The breakfast buffet featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients

The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet that reflects the diversity of our own farm produce. Alongside fresh eggs from our own chickens, guests can enjoy a selection of cheeses from the Pichlschloss dairy, as well as yoghurt and wholemeal products from organic farmers in the Styrian Nature Park. Homemade spreads, freshly cut fruit salad and fragrant farmhouse bread provide the perfect foundation for an energising start to your day, whilst we also cater individually for gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan and vegetarian requirements.
