Rothschildschloss, Medieval castle and museum in Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Austria.
The Rothschildschloss features a nine-story medieval keep with a modern glass structure on top and Gothic architectural elements throughout the building.
Originally constructed in the 13th century as a seat for Freising administrators, Albert Salomon Anselm von Rothschild acquired the castle in 1875 for estate management.
The castle houses the Five Elements Museum, presenting the city's history through themes of fire, water, earth, wood, and metal related to iron processing.
The castle restaurant serves regional Mostviertler cuisine and international dishes, operating daily except Wednesdays and Sundays reserved for private events.
During renovations, medieval Gothic frescoes were discovered in the residential hall, now transformed into the modern Crystal Hall event space.
