Schloss Ostrau, Baroque château in Petersberg, Germany.

The château stands on an island formed by a wide water moat, featuring a two-story baroque three-wing building with seventeen axes.

The castle site dates back to 1125 when Margrave Conrad the Great donated the chapel and four hides of land to the Augustine monastery.

The interior contains grand staircases, arcaded halls, suites of rooms, stucco halls with faience stoves, and chambers decorated with porcelain collections.

The château serves as a venue for concerts, celebrations, art exhibitions, and includes a café for visitors to enjoy refreshments.

The French architect Louis Remy de la Fosse designed the current baroque structure in 1713, replacing previous medieval fortifications.
