Schloss Ochsenburg, Castle in St. Pölten, Austria.
The stone castle stands on a 30-meter rock outcrop along the right bank of the Traisen River with a rectangular courtyard and arcade features.
The medieval fortress transformed into a Renaissance palace in the 16th century, followed by the addition of a Baroque southern wing in 1698.
The Nikolaus Chapel within the castle received renovations in the 18th century, featuring substantial architectural modifications by Martin Johann Schmidt.
The castle remains under private ownership and currently functions as a summer residence for the bishops of St. Pölten, available for selected events.
The property passed through multiple religious institutions, including the St. Pölten Cathedral Chapter and the Lower Austrian Religious Fund during the Josephinian reforms.
