Schloss Viehofen, Medieval castle in St. Pölten, Austria
The three-story stone castle stands on a hill with a round tower topped by a conical roof and features a quadrangular courtyard.
First documented in 1130, the castle remained in the possession of the Kuefstein family from 1745 until 2003, when Josef Figl acquired it.
The castle chapel functioned as the parish church for Viehofen village residents until 1898, marking its central role in local religious life.
The castle now serves as an event venue, offering spaces for weddings and celebrations, with guided tours available through advance reservations.
Russian troops used the castle as an ammunition depot during World War II, leading to substantial damage that required extensive renovation efforts.
