The Setting
A castle built
for contemplation
Schloss Thalheim operates as a program-based cultural and retreat space in a restored 17th-century Baroque castle in Lower Austria. The estate hosts yoga and meditation retreats, wellness programs, and privately organised group retreats on 7 hectares of private grounds.
The yoga and meditation hall — a light-filled space with a 16th-century wooden beam ceiling — is used for morning practice, guided sessions, and multi-day yoga programs. The meditation room provides a quiet, pared-back environment for individual and group contemplative practice.
The estate sits on an ancient Celtic site noted for its energy lines and sandstone boulders. The 7 hectares include a formal Baroque garden, rose garden, Zen garden, grotto, amphitheatre, and the chapel designed by the architect of Melk Abbey.

Privately Organised Retreats
Schloss Thalheim accepts inquiries for externally organised retreats. Groups may book the estate exclusively or use specific facilities. The estate can accommodate groups in the 22 rooms and suites, provide catering from the estate kitchen, and grant access to all program spaces.
Retreat organisers — yoga teachers, meditation instructors, corporate wellness providers, and cultural facilitators — regularly use Schloss Thalheim as a residential venue. The estate provides the setting; the program organiser brings the format.
