About Cumberland Castle

Cumberland Castle (German: Schloss Cumberland, pronounced [ʃlɔs ˈkʊmbɐlant]) is a former royal palace in Gmunden, Austria. When the House of Hanover lost the throne of the Kingdom of Hanover after it was annexed by Prussia, its members went to Austria into exile. Gmunden became their exile seat, where they constructed Cumberland Castle in 1882. The palace is designed in a Tudor revival style. The royal family lived here until the 1930s. After the Second World War, the castle became a state nursing home. It is now owned by the State of Upper Austria.
