Schloss Walterskirchen, Medieval castle in Poysdorf, Austria

The four-winged Baroque structure features a three-story southern section with balconies, gables, and two-story outbuildings spread across an extensive park area.

First documented in 1249, the castle faced destruction during the Thirty Years' War in 1645 before being reconstructed by Ferdinand Freiherr von Hohenfeld.

The ground floor displays vaulted ceilings known as Platzl and Kreuzgratgewölbe, while the upper floor contains flat ceilings decorated with stucco mirrors.

The castle remains a private estate under the ownership of the House of Sachsen-Coburg-Koháry, with limited access for public visitors.

The eastern wing contains a ceremonial hall, and the northeast corner houses a staircase dating from the 16th century.
