Schloss Pottenbrunn, Renaissance castle in St. Pölten, Austria
The castle complex consists of an old medieval fortress with a tower and a two-winged Renaissance palace surrounded by water-filled moats.
First documented in 977 as Salzburg property, the castle underwent major transformations between 1505 and 1527 under Sebastian Grabner's ownership.
The castle houses the Lernwerkstatt Pottenbrunn, an alternative educational institution that operates with official state recognition.
The New Castle section remains inhabited by the Trauttmansdorff family, limiting visitor access to external views of the architectural structure.
From 1970 until recent years, the Old Castle contained a museum displaying 35,000 tin figures, representing military and historical scenes.
