Schloss Schönau, Renaissance château in Schönau an der Triesting, Austria
Schloss Schönau is a Renaissance château featuring four rectangular corner towers, situated along the Triesting River in Lower Austria. The structure is enclosed by gardens that frame its fortified layout.
The château was founded in the 12th century and gained its Renaissance appearance through substantial renovations in the 16th century. Additional changes in the 18th century shaped its current form.
The château hosts exhibitions by local artists and serves as home to a Waldorf kindergarten community. These uses bring contemporary culture and education into the historic spaces.
The grounds are accessible daily, and guided tours can be arranged beforehand. Visitors should expect uneven terrain and the layout typical of an older residential complex.
Beneath the château lies an underground grotto system from the early 1800s featuring tunnels and decorated chambers. This network reveals the former owners' fascination with subterranean artistic spaces.
