Schloss Brunn am Walde, Renaissance water castle in Lichtenau im Waldviertel, Austria

The castle structure features four wings surrounding an inner courtyard, with a broad moat encompassing the entire building complex.

The castle, first documented in 1172, underwent transformation in 1584 under Johann Hartmann von Trauttmannsdorff into its current Renaissance form.

The architecture combines Renaissance elements with later Baroque additions, including stone vases, lion figures, and decorative cherubs from the 19th century.

Located at Brunn am Wald 1 in Lichtenau, the castle remains in private ownership and visitors can only view the exterior of the building.

The castle maintains its original Venetian-style chimneys and features a preserved drawbridge that leads through a round arch gate into the courtyard.
