Fuchsenhof Freistadt, Protected monument in Freistadt, Austria.

Fuchsenhof is a former castle complex about 800 metres south-west of Freistadt in the Mühlviertel. Its three-storey front wing carries a four-storey tower with a pointed roof, probably built in the 17th century, resting on two granite columns above the gateway. Behind the vaulted hall are a residential wing and extensive stables, and the south-facing Rittersaal displays the coats of arms of former owners.

First documented in 1377 as Rasteinhof, an aristocratic free seat within Freistadt's castle peace, the estate passed to the Freistadt citizen Hans Hafenpier in 1398. After 1478 it was called Luzengut, and from 1528 the Weissenauer family fought a long dispute with the town over its status, settled by Emperor Maximilian II in 1573. Ulrich Fuchs bought it in 1623, giving it its present name; the tower dates from the 17th century.

The name Fuchsenhof comes from Ulrich Fuchs, who bought the estate in 1623; before that it was called Rasteinhof and Luzengut. The Rittersaal on the first floor displays the coats of arms of the successive owners and is furnished with old German furniture. The farm is still worked today, with extensive agricultural land and cattle fattening.

The Fuchsenhof stands about 800 metres south-west of Freistadt's centre, and the Böhmerwald Straße towards Bad Leonfelden passes within roughly 100 metres of it. The farm is in private use, so visitors see the three-storey front and the projecting tower from the road. The tower rests on two granite columns framing the gateway; the vaulted hall and the upper hall with the owners' coats of arms are not open to the public.

In autumn 1997, while a field near the farm was being ploughed, a silver hoard buried around 1270 was found: more than 6,700 coins plus hundreds of silver objects and pieces of jewellery. It is thought a goldsmith hid it during the wars between Ottokar II Přemysl of Bohemia and Rudolf of Habsburg. Published after study in 2004, it is now shown in the Schlossmuseum Linz.
