Schloss Wiesenau, Renaissance château in Bad St. Leonhard im Lavanttal, Austria

The three-story château features a high hipped roof with a clock tower and three corner towers positioned at diagonal angles.

Siegmund von Pain constructed the château in 1579, and his family maintained ownership until 1617, followed by numerous ownership changes through centuries.

The château became the meeting place of the Wiesenauer Circle in 1814, connecting with prominent intellectuals including Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schiller.

The building contains a collection of Roman-era grave monuments discovered near the château, suggesting connections to historical gold mining activities.

Imperial court astronomer Tobias Bürg, who won a Paris Institute award for calculating lunar orbit, spent his final years at Schloss Wiesenau.
