Schloss Burgschleinitz

Schloss Burgschleinitz features three two-story sections with gable roofs arranged around a narrow rectangular courtyard, accessible through a bridge spanning the surrounding pond.

The castle endured multiple attacks, including destruction by Hussite troops in 1480 and Bohemian forces during the Thirty Years' War, followed by reconstructions under different noble families.

The castle maintains connections to Austrian nobility, with notable residents including Anna von Sazenhofen and visits from literary figure Franz Grillparzer in its halls.

Visitors access the castle through a bridge featuring an 18th-century statue of Johannes Nepomuk, leading to a forecourt enclosed by stone walls and a rectangular gate tower.

The structure retains its original moat system, where a drawbridge once operated, now replaced by a permanent crossing to the main entrance gate.
