Schloss Waldstein, Medieval castle in Deutschfeistritz, Austria
The castle stands in the Übelbach valley, consisting of a rectangular four-wing building complex surrounding a large central courtyard with two to three floors.
The estate transformed from a farmstead belonging to Burg Waldstein into a castle when Christoph von Windischgraetz initiated its expansion at the beginning of the 16th century.
The castle chapel, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, features Rococo stucco decorations added during Count Dietrichstein's ownership in the eighteenth century.
The castle underwent extensive restoration work in 1956 and currently belongs to Prince Vincenz of Liechtenstein, maintaining its architectural integrity.
The last Austrian Empress Zita spent the final ten summers of her life at Schloss Waldstein, establishing a connection to Habsburg royal history.
