Schloss Hüttenstein, Neo-Gothic castle in Sankt Gilgen, Austria
Schloss Hüttenstein stands between Wolfgangsee and Mondsee lakes, featuring four octagonal corner towers and a central projecting section with polygon bay windows.
Built as a fortress in 1329 by Archbishop Friedrich III von Leibnitz, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1843 under Carl Theodor Friedrich Fürst Wrede's direction.
The castle represents architectural transitions from medieval fortress to judicial seat, reflecting changes in regional governance and social structures through centuries.
The castle remains a private property managed by a foundation, with the surrounding Krottensee lake offering natural views of the structure.
The interior maintains its original central corridor layout from the previous building, with groin vaults preserved on both ground and upper floors.
