Seminars and company events
The castle can be rented for seminars, lectures, trainings and photo shoots. The official site describes the rooms as well equipped and the setting as inspiring for many kinds of events, with the castle halls and the surrounding natural landscape as the frame. The pages read do not list room names, floor areas, seating layouts or technical equipment, so an organizer should ask the castle team for the room plan and the equipment before choosing a date. The castle also runs its own public events from April to autumn, which means the calendar should be checked for availability.

History and setting
Schloss Höch is a Renaissance castle first mentioned in a document in the early 13th century, with walls that kept the history of a former noble seat. Owners included the Gutrat family, the mining entrepreneur Karl Jocher and from 1658 the Plaz family, who were raised to counts in 1696. The ski manufacturer Alois Rohrmoser bought it in 1989, and the municipality of Flachau acquired the castle and its farmland in 1999. After a five-year restoration completed in 2007, it reopened as a cultural venue. The chapel altar dates from 1649. The grounds are described as ecologically valuable, with rare plants and animals.
