Schloss Vöslau, Protected castle in Bad Vöslau, Austria.
Schloss Vöslau is a protected castle in Bad Vöslau that now serves as the town hall. The building features a two-story main hall, smaller rooms decorated with early classical wooden paneling, and adjacent garden grounds.
The castle began as a water fortress in the 12th century and underwent major baroque transformations between 1740 and 1753 under August von Wöber's leadership. These changes shaped the building we see today.
The castle gardens display stone vases by sculptor Franz Anton Zauner that represent the continents known at that time. These works remain a defining feature of the grounds and invite visitors to stroll through.
The castle is publicly accessible today since it serves as the town's administrative center. Visitors should check in advance about tours outside official events, as regular municipal meetings take place here.
In 1773, architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg added artificial mountains and grottos to the park grounds, features that define the landscape today. These theatrical elements create focal points throughout the gardens.
