Schloss Hunyadi, Late Baroque castle in Maria Enzersdorf, Austria
Schloss Hunyadi is a late Baroque castle in Maria Enzersdorf, built from 1766 for the Viennese merchant Joseph von Patuzzi. It has side wings that once housed a biscuit and pasta factory and later a guesthouse. The courtyard facade and the southern wing were renovated in 2025.
The castle was built in the mid-18th century by Viennese merchant Joseph Patuzzi and received imperial privileges from Empress Maria Theresia in 1766. This recognition highlighted its status as an important estate in the region.
The castle chapel, described in the sources as exemplary renovated, was blessed in 2015. The building also carries the name of Count Koloman Hunyadi and his wife Alexandrine, who owned it from 1876 to 1901 and were well liked in the village; the count served as imperial chief master of ceremonies and held lavish festivities at the castle.
Schloss Hunyadi is run by the market town of Maria Enzersdorf and can be rented for private celebrations such as weddings and birthdays. The former stables housed a biscuit and pasta factory from 1930 to 1955, and the side wings later served as a guesthouse. The courtyard facade and the south wing were renovated in 2025.
Four large painted tapestries inside the castle represent the four seasons and were preserved during the complete renovation in 2004. These artworks give a sense of the original decoration throughout the house.
