Burg Maissau, Medieval castle in Maissau, Austria.

The castle consists of a southern wing renovated in Romanesque-Neo-Gothic style and an older section from the 15th century with early Gothic architecture.

The first mention of the castle dates to 1122, when Rudolf and Rozinus of Maissau were documented as its initial occupants.

The Gothic hall on the ground floor, dating from the 14th century, has been transformed into a chapel since 1964.

The castle courtyard opens exclusively during the first Advent weekend for the traditional Maissau Castle Advent celebration.

The Abensperg and Traun family has maintained continuous ownership of the castle since 1653, when they received the title of Imperial Counts.
