Schloss Neuschloss, Baroque castle in Wundschuh, Austria
Schloss Neuschloss is a three-story baroque castle with a mansard roof located in Wundschuh. The grounds include a walled park area to the south featuring a chapel within its boundaries.
The estate was first recorded in 1265 under Duke Frederick II and underwent major renovations between 1804 and 1809 during a change of ownership. The Dietrichstein family managed the property for over a century and significantly shaped its character.
The property belonged to several noble families, including Emperor Frederick III and the Counts of Dietrichstein, who managed the estate from 1643 to 1780.
The castle is a private residence and closed to visitors, as indicated by clear no-entry signs at the entrance. The exterior and roofline can be viewed from the public road at a distance.
During excavations in 1952, workers discovered a medal of the Croatian king Dmitar Zvonimir in the castle courtyard, pointing to a complex historical past. This finding remains one of the most puzzling aspects of the castle's story.
