Schloss Pottschach, Renaissance water castle in Ternitz, Austria
The three-story rectangular structure features corner turrets on the upper level and is enclosed by walls with four defensive towers.
Originally established in 1134 with mentions of Gunterus de Pottschach, the site transformed from a water fortress to a Renaissance castle under Bernhard Ursenbeck's ownership.
The castle forms an integrated defensive complex with the Pottschach parish church, representing medieval architectural planning in Lower Austria.
The castle remains in private ownership and is not open for public visits, but its exterior can be viewed from Pottschacher Street.
The third floor contains only spy windows and arrow slits, maintaining its defensive character despite its classification as both a castle and stately home.
