Schloss Sitzenthal, Renaissance castle in Loosdorf, Austria
The three-story castle features eleven axes in its main section, two eastern wings, and a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph in the northern part.
First documented in 1278, the castle underwent substantial modifications in the 16th century and received additional renovations around 1855 to achieve its present form.
The castle contains rooms with ribbed vaults, period furniture, and valuable paintings that reflect the architectural and decorative preferences of Austrian nobility.
Located 1 kilometer north of Loosdorf, visitors can reach the castle by taking the A1 highway exit to Melk and following directions toward Mauer bei Melk.
Hans Hammerstein-Equord, who served as Austrian Minister of Justice in 1936, was born in this castle before becoming a prisoner at Mauthausen concentration camp.
