Schloss Rotenturm, Historicist castle in Rotenturm an der Pinka, Austria

Schloss Rotenturm is a historicist country palace in Rotenturm an der Pinka, built 1862–1864 to plans by Antal Weber under master builder Johann Lang. Its show front faces the park, with a four-storey campanile-like tower at the east corner, a two-storey chapel marked outside by a rounded apse at the west corner, and a projecting north risalit topped by a dwarf gallery and stepped crenellation. Light Romanesque, Moorish, Gothic and Renaissance ornaments stand out on red-rendered walls; a broad balcony on slender columns shelters the main entrance.

The castle was built between 1862 and 1864 under architect Antal Weber. It replaced a medieval water fortress that previously occupied the northwestern location.

The castle's name comes from the Hungarian Vörösvár, meaning 'red castle', echoed in the red render of its walls. Until 1929 it held the art collections of Count Julius and Countess Emilie Erdődy, who were connected to the Széchenyi family. After the collections were auctioned, the Czech violinist Jan Kubelík briefly owned the building.

The castle can be viewed from outside and is visible from the road. For a better understanding of the interior spaces, visitors should check ahead about available tours.

The building combines Romanesque, Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance elements in a single architectural style. It stands as one of the early examples of this historicist approach in Burgenland.
