A significant turning point came in the 1960s when the historic building transformed into the renowned “Gasthof Bierstrom,” marking the beginning of a new chapter. Later, from 1980 to 1982, the house underwent extensive renovation and modernization, reopening as Schlossberghotel. In the following years, the hotel expanded to include two adjacent buildings. Another milestone occurred in 2011 with the construction of new apartments in the Domenig-Spitz.
