Schloss Rohoncz, Medieval château in Rechnitz, Austria.

The château features a trapezoidal floor plan surrounding an arcaded courtyard with a central fountain displaying the Batthyány family pelican coat of arms.

The castle, established in the 13th century, became property of Ferenc Batthyány in 1527 through a grant from Bohemian-Hungarian king Ferdinand I.

In 1687, Adam II Batthyány issued a protection letter to 36 Jews in Rechnitz, establishing foundations for a local Jewish community.

The remaining structures include a large retaining wall, extensive cellar networks, and a stone-lantern adorned well accessible for visitors.

The château contained over 200 rooms with late 17th-century furnishings and decorated stucco ceilings before its destruction in March 1945.
