Piber Castle (Schloss Piber) is a palace in the Austrian state of Styria. It stands next to the Federal Stud Piber. The stud breeds the famous Lipizzan stallions who are performing at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
In 2003 this palace housed the Styrian State exhibition ‘Mythos Pferd’. This exposition told about the history of horses. During this time, the sculpture of a black horse served as a promotion for the event.
Would you love to see more of the famous Lipizzan stallions? Feel free to drive up to a nearby pasture which is the home of the young stallions during summertime.
