Schloss Oberhöflein

The castle features a square layout with two prominent towers, a gate tower, and a stone bridge crossing over the surrounding dry moat.

First documented in the 13th century, the castle underwent major renovations in the 16th century when the Counts of Hardegg transformed it from a fortress to a residence.

The southeast room contains illusionistic wall paintings created around 1770 by Johann Bergl and Martin von Molitor, demonstrating period artistic techniques.

The castle remains a private residence owned by the Barons of Suttner since 1724 and does not currently offer public access to its interior spaces.

A reported secret passage once connected the castle to a nearby tavern, according to historical documents by Schweickhardt.
