Schloss Kaiserebersdorf, Renaissance château in Simmering, Austria

The stone fortress features high walls, a circular keep, and multiple floors arranged in a triangular layout within the Simmering district.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the castle became imperial property in 1499 under Maximilian I who transformed it into a hunting residence.

The structure represents a transition from medieval defensive architecture to Renaissance design, incorporating both military elements and residential spaces.

The château currently operates as a correctional facility, continuing its long tradition of institutional use that began in the 18th century.

The site housed an early menagerie in 1552 under Maximilian II, which later relocated to form the foundation of Schönbrunn Zoo.
