Schloss Rosenau, Renaissance castle and museum in Zwettl, Austria
The castle displays a combination of Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements, featuring grand halls, intricate decorations, and multiple exhibition spaces throughout its structure.
Originally constructed as a farm complex, the castle underwent transformation in 1593 when the Lords of Greiß expanded it into a Renaissance structure with subsequent Baroque modifications.
The Austrian Freemason Museum within the castle presents exhibitions about Freemasonry, displaying artifacts, documents, and historical items related to this organization.
The castle complex includes a hotel, restaurant, and museum facilities, with guided tours available to explore both the historical architecture and exhibition areas.
The castle grounds contain Austria's only Bismarck tower, constructed in 1907 north of the main building under Georg Heinrich Ritter von Schönerer's ownership.
