Schloss Goldegg

Schloss Goldegg is a castle in Neidling with a square bergfried as its central element and a Renaissance layout spread across three wings. The structures house a vaulted chapel in the eastern section and additional buildings such as a wooden pavilion from 1800 and a masonry glasshouse with iron framework from around 1900.

The first documented mention of the castle dates from 1293, when it was still under the control of the Goldegg family. Over the centuries, the estate changed hands to the Redler family and later to the Uttendorfers, reflecting its shifting history as a noble residence.

The chapel inside contains baroque stucco decorations from the 17th century and displays paintings by Josef Baldauf that mark the interior with artistic details. The space reflects the religious importance that the castle held for those living there over centuries.

Visitors should note that the grounds contain outdoor structures like the old wooden pavilion and the protected glasshouse, which are visible from the grounds. The best time to visit is in good weather, when you can properly view the entire grounds and architectural details.

During World War II, the castle served as an operational headquarters for SS activities and suffered considerable damage as a result. This troubled chapter left visible marks that were addressed through extensive restoration work after the war ended.
