Schloss Zigguln, Castle and stately home in Klagenfurt, Austria

The rectangular castle features a two-story structure with a central courtyard and extended wings on each side of the main building.

First documented in 1496 under the name Zikullen, the property transformed from a small farm in 1547 to a castle during the first half of the 17th century.

The Jesuits used the castle as a summer residence for noble students until 1773, when Empress Maria Theresa transferred it to the military orphanage in Klagenfurt.

The castle underwent its latest restoration in 1996, which included courtyard renovations and plaster repairs while maintaining the original imperial yellow plaster remnants.

The name Zikullen derives from Secula, a medieval axe type used for land clearing in the region.
