Schloss Samersdorf, Castle in Neckenmarkt, Austria.

The castle stands as a three-story structure with a main portal featuring the year 1661, surrounded by contained ponds and a French garden.

Paul I Esterhazy de Galantha constructed this castle, which served as a command post for the Sopronnyék prisoner of war camp during World War I.

The castle represents the architectural preferences of Hungarian nobility in Burgenland, featuring elements of both defensive and residential design principles.

Two artificial ponds near the castle supply water to power a three-channel mill system, demonstrating early industrial engineering.

After a fire destroyed the building in 1945, reconstruction efforts in the 1950s altered its original structure, leaving minimal historical elements intact.
