Schloss Zogelsdorf, 16th-century castle in Burgschleinitz-Kühnring, Austria.
Schloss Zogelsdorf is a 16th-century castle located in Burgschleinitz-Kühnring on the village's main road. The building displays a white-rendered facade with a central balcony supported by Tuscan columns and red-white-red shutters on its upper floors.
The castle was first recorded in 1122 under the name Chadolt de Zoclindorf and underwent major transformation in the mid-17th century. Under the Harmannsdorf family's ownership, the building received its Baroque appearance through extensive renovations.
The castle served for centuries as a center for local noble families and remains a landmark that shapes how the village is experienced. Today this role appears mainly in how residents view it as part of their community's identity.
Access to the castle is straightforward from the village road and the grounds are easy to reach. Multiple exhibition rooms inside require time to explore the different collections on display.
The castle garden features a nature trail with around 80 native tree and shrub species inviting visitors to explore. A special location within the garden is a Celtic tree circle that offers visitors space for personal reflection.
