Schloss Brunn, Water castle in Bad Fischau-Brunn, Austria
Schloss Brunn is a water castle in Bad Fischau-Brunn featuring a three-winged structure across two storeys with a round tower at the centre of the main facade. Water features surround the building, emphasizing its character as a fortified residence surrounded by moats.
The castle came under the ownership of the Teuffenbach family in the 14th century and became a fief of Styrian rule during the 15th century. Early 18th century brought substantial renovations that modernized the building's appearance and surroundings.
The castle's name references its location in the Brunn area. Visitors today experience the grounds through the gardens and landscaped spaces that frame the structure.
The castle is surrounded by hiking trails that connect it to neighbouring areas in the Wiener Neustadt-Land region. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain around the grounds varies in slope and path conditions.
A fire in 1945 caused extensive damage to the interior and resulted in the loss of many historical decorative elements throughout the building. The scars from this event remain visible in certain rooms today.
