Waxenberg - Altes Schloss, Medieval castle in Oberneukirchen, Austria.

The two-story horseshoe-shaped castle features an octagonal courtyard well and a decorated chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph at the southeast corner.

After lightning destroyed the original structure in 1756, the Starhemberg family moved into the castle and initiated extensive renovations to create their noble residence.

The castle chapel, which became Waxenberg's parish church in 1784, contains a high altar crafted by Ferdinand Stuflesser in 1892.

The castle houses the Wassergenossenschaft Waxenberg organization and maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.

The west wing displays heraldic emblems of four noble families: Starhemberg, Jörger, Gera, and Turzo von Bethlen-Falva on its southern facade.
