Schloss Droß, Protected medieval castle in Droß, Austria.
The castle features four wings with corner towers, a baroque bell tower with an onion dome, and an elevated position overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Originally constructed as a fortress in the 12th century, the castle underwent substantial baroque renovations in 1726 under the direction of Johann Georg Pichelsdorf.
The castle complex includes the former Chapel of Saint George, mentioned in records from 1135, reflecting the religious practices of medieval Austrian nobility.
Located in the Krems-Land district of Lower Austria, the castle offers guided tours through its baroque architecture and historical chambers by appointment.
During late 1944 until May 1945, the castle served as a labor camp where Hungarian Jews performed forestry work and other tasks.
