Schloss Rastbach, Renaissance castle in Gföhl, Austria.

The castle features a three-winged layout with two floors, spreading across a south-facing courtyard connected to the Rastbach parish church.

First documented in 1193 under the name Hartwich de Resperch, the castle experienced multiple destructions and reconstructions during the Thirty Years War.

The castle grounds contain a burial section within the cemetery wall where members of the Ehrenfels and Bodmershof families, former castle owners, rest.

The property changed ownership in July 2022 when Stefan Piëch, great-grandson of Porsche, purchased it from Rolf Peter Ehrenfels.

The west wing holds a stone fountain basin from 1610 decorated with a relief coat of arms, representing centuries of aristocratic heritage.
