Schloss Leopoldstein, Cultural heritage castle in Münichtal district, Eisenerz, Austria

Schloss Leopoldstein stands at 653 meters elevation, featuring several main buildings and a defensive tower within encompassing walls near Lake Leopoldsteiner.

Count Leopold Freiherr von Neidthardt zu Spathenbrunn transformed the former Saurießlgut farmstead into a castle between 1666 and 1670, naming it after Emperor Leopold.

Five grand halls display elaborate wall paneling, coffered ceilings, tiled stoves, and heraldic decorations reflecting Austrian architectural traditions.

The castle functions as a boarding school for the Federal Commercial Academy and serves as a youth sports facility during summer months.

Prince Arnulf of Bavaria renovated the castle between 1890 and 1895, incorporating design elements inspired by Bavarian royal palaces.
