Schloss Niederweiden, Hunting lodge and museum in Engelhartstetten, Austria

Schloss Niederweiden is a two-storey baroque hunting lodge built in 1693/94 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach for Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg. Its pale facade is divided by pilasters and rows of shuttered windows, with a domed central tower and a rounded bay holding tall arched windows and a black iron balcony. Nikolaus Pacassi gave it its present form around 1765; the festival hall paintings are by Jean-Baptiste Pillement.

Ernst Rüdiger Graf von Starhemberg commissioned architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach to build this hunting lodge in 1693. Prince Eugene of Savoy later acquired and shaped the estate's development.

The castle's festival hall paintings are by Jean-Baptiste Pillement. Since 2016 it has shared exhibitions with Schloss Hof, including a 2016 show on Emperor Franz Joseph and hunting, a 2017 exhibition on Maria Theresia and a 2020 one on Elisabeth of Austria-Ungary. Fifteen stately rooms, among them the baroque game kitchen from Prince Eugene's time, can be rented for weddings and conferences.

The property sits approximately three kilometers from Schloss Hof and opens daily during the exhibition season. Visitors can view an authentic baroque hunting kitchen and explore the rooms at a comfortable pace.

The baroque garden was laid out over the ruins of the medieval village of Grafenweiden, documented in 1045 and destroyed in 1450; its house-mound substructures were reused as a base for the garden design. The site is now a protected archaeological zone, and a votive picture was placed in 2013 at a seven-armed lime tree by the former Grafenweiden church.
