Schloss Lichtenegg, Renaissance water castle in Wels, Austria
Schloss Lichtenegg stands as a symmetrical structure with two square towers at the entrance and park sides, featuring Baroque sandstone sculptures from the 17th century.
The castle was constructed in the mid-16th century by Ludwig von Polheim and underwent major renovations by architect Wolfgang Grinzenberger in 1726.
The property includes elements of French Rococo garden design and an English park, which was renovated in 1986 to maintain its historical character.
The castle now functions as an apartment building, with exterior views available to visitors while interior access remains restricted to residents.
The structure contained a copper hammer mill and yellow casting workshop during its early years as part of its extensive estate operations.
