Schloss Wisent, Medieval castle in Amelsdorf, Austria
The rectangular castle contains a single-story main building with arcaded walkways surrounding the courtyard at both ground and upper levels.
Construction began in 1571 under Valentin Polani and his wife Barbara, while in 1619 the forces of Buquoy attacked and plundered the structure.
In 1755, the estate became property of Altenburg Abbey, which continues to manage the property as a manor farm to the present day.
The castle building received its current appearance after a lightning strike in 1900, which led to the removal of the second floor.
During 1944-1945, approximately 30 Hungarian Jews were forced to perform labor at the castle under harsh supervision by Karl Reschinsky.
