Discovering art in nature

Pöllau

In the inner courtyard of Pöllau Castle, passionate artists can apply delicate brushstrokes and gently experience nature in the Pöllau natural park.

The rolling hills of East Styria with its beautiful flower gardens, lush meadows and orchards offer secluded favourite spots for a creative summer retreat. In the castle and its surroundings, during the summer months from July 2022, the art courses of Styrian Summer Art encourage you to discover the artist in you under expert guidance and to perfect your skills. Whether it is painting, ceramics, sculpture or poetry, the offer is as varied as the inspiring motifs of the place and the landscape. Adults and children alike are enthusiastic every time. The surrounding Buschenschänken (wine taverns) serve Brettljause & Co. because every creative spirit also needs a lot of energy.

Summer resort tip: The picturesque castle park in Pöllau: Here you can let your soul dangle and indulge in attentive leisure. Ideal for art under the open sky. Tip from Michaela Zingerle, art expert and course organiser: Find a spot by the stream near the Fandler oil mill, which, by the way, is also worth a visit as an enjoyable excursion destination.
