Weitra Palace, Renaissance castle and museum in Weitra, Austria
The rectangular palace features a northern tower, three-story arcades, and four Baroque gables surrounding a courtyard with a Renaissance fountain.
Construction began in 1590 when Emperor Rudolf II granted the estate to Baron Wolf Rumpf, who commissioned imperial architect Pietro Ferrabosco for the renovation.
The castle museum exhibits artifacts from the Kuenring and Fürstenberg families, along with collections of regional crafts and noble household items.
Located at Schloß Weitra 71-72, the palace offers guided tours through its halls, a beer museum in the cellar, and seasonal cultural events.
From the tower, visitors can observe the medieval town walls of Weitra and view landscapes extending across the border into neighboring countries.
