Schloss Wetzlas, Classical manor house in Pölla, Austria

Schloss Wetzlas is a long, two-storey classicist manor house in Wetzlas, part of Pölla, Lower Austria. Its five-axis central projection has pilasters on the upper floor and a gable bearing the coat of arms of Franz von Andrea. A stone balustrade borders the broad approach, and the chapel on the west side has a round apse and a small roof turret with an onion dome.

The former Meierhof was converted into a manor house around 1720–1725 by Freiherr Ignaz Philip von Ehrmanns, owner of the Dobra estate. Under the Ehrmanns the astronomical tower and castle garden were also laid out. In 1842 Franz von Andrea bought the property and enlarged it by adding a storey and a chapel. In 1940 it was sold to the German Reich and incorporated into the Döllersheim military training area; after 1945 it passed to the Republic of Austria, which sold it privately in 1964. Hans Pretterebner bought it in 1991 and had it thoroughly restored.

The astronomical tower, built in the second half of the 18th century by the Ehrmanns family, is a two-storey structure with a banded lower floor, round-arched windows and pilasters upstairs. The estate also served as a film set: in 1972 for the TV series Die Abenteuer des braven Soldaten Schwejk with Fritz Muliar and Heinz Marecek, and in 1998 for scenes of the comedy Drei Herren with Karl Markovics, Karl Merkatz and Ottfried Fischer.

The manor house now operates as a youth guest house and holiday residence providing lodging for visitors to the Lower Austrian region. When visiting, check in advance which areas are accessible to the public since the property functions as a private accommodation facility.

The astronomical tower was added in the second half of the 18th century by the Ehrmanns family. It is a two-storey structure with a banded lower storey, round-arched windows and pilasters on the upper floor. The tower is part of the three-sided complex that includes the manor house and former stables.
