Deutschordensschloss Gumpoldskirchen
Deutschordensschloss Gumpoldskirchen, Medieval castle and hotel in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria.
Deutschordensschloss Gumpoldskirchen is a four-wing fortress featuring baroque design elements and two defensive towers positioned near St. Michael's Church. The complex is bounded by a solid facade that faces toward the market square.
Margrave Friedrich II granted the fortress to the Teutonic Order in 1241, who developed it into their commandery. Following destructions from Turkish attacks in 1529 and 1683, subsequent reconstructions shaped the structure we see today.
The castle takes its name from the Teutonic Order's commandery that once operated here and shaped the building's identity. Visitors can see medieval structures that survived despite later renovations and modifications.
The fortress is located about 25 kilometers south of Vienna and can be easily reached by train to Gumpoldskirchen station or via the Traiskirchen motorway exit. The grounds offer accommodations and event facilities with convenient access to transportation links.
From 1938 to 1945, the Nazi regime operated the Reich Wine Estate here, which served as a research facility for viticulture. This period of use represents an important but often overlooked chapter in the building's history.
