Kammerhof Museums in Gmunden
Dating back to 1450 the edifice originally housed an authority for administrating the salt monopoly. Today there are a couple of museums (Kammerhof Museen Gmunden) inside, e.g. a collection of historical toilet bowls.
Paddle steamer ‘Gisela’
The maiden voyage of the paddle steamer ‘Gisela’ was in 1872. Operated by the Traunsee Schifffahrt, it still runs for cruises, weddings and having meals on Traun Lake (Traunsee). In the photo above, one can see the steamer in front of Gmunden.
Ort Castle in Gmunden
During a state exhibition about the Salzkammergut area in Austria I came across this castle which got famous for being the set of the TV series ‘Schlosshotel Orth’ in 1996. There are two castles of the same name. As this castle is located on an island it is often called Seeschloss Ort whereas the next one is named Landschloss Ort. [German]
