Schloss Braiten, Castle in Baden, Austria

The three-story late classical castle features a seven-axis facade with four Ionic pilasters facing Braitnerstrasse street in Baden near Vienna.

Built in 1809 by city master builder Anton Hantl for Polish scholar Joseph Max Ossolinski, the castle served as a gathering place for scholars and artists.

Ludwig van Beethoven stayed at Schloss Braiten from July to October 1816, where he composed parts of his Piano Sonata No. 28 opus 101.

The castle functioned as a Federal Institute for Social Education until 1998, following several ownership changes and different institutional uses throughout its history.

A neo-Gothic pavilion remains at the park boundary along Elisabethstrasse, marking the location of the castle's former gardens from the 19th century.
