About Ehrenhausen

Ehrenhausen is blossoming in rich Austrian heritage and culture. The Gurus best places to stay in Ehrenhausen are great places from where to explore the traditional Austrian heritage of the local area.

Ehrenhausen is a small town on the river Mur in southeastern Styria, south of Liebnitz and close to the Slovenian border. The town is most notable as the location of the former family seat of the Eggensburg dynasty. The Eggensburgs were originally vintners and financiers and rose to prominence during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Ruprecht von Eggenburg was a war hero, decisively defeating the Ottomans at the Battle of Sisak in 1593. This achievement secured the family’s elevation to the Austrian nobility, and the mausoleum of Ruprecht, which was designed by the famous architect and painter Giovanni Pietro de Pornis, is a huge attraction in this otherwise tranquil rural village.

The Baroque style parish church with its rococo interior is also worth a visit. This is a lovely part of southern Austria and there is much to do and see. Ehrenhausen sits on the local wine route; the nearby villages of Leutschach and Ebiswald are major centres for wine production.
