Schloss Grossau, Renaissance castle in Raabs an der Thaya, Austria.

The four-winged castle features a powerful square tower with a tent roof at its southwestern corner and three sides surrounded by water ditches.

First documented in 1204 as a fortress above the Thaya River, the structure was transformed into a water castle during the 16th century.

The castle served as Lower Austria's first agricultural school, contributing to the region's educational development and agricultural advancement.

Located at Schloßgasse 1, the castle encompasses 730 square meters of living space and includes extensive outbuildings on its eastern side.

The castle functioned as an internment camp in 1914, housing Stanislaus Joyce, the brother of writer James Joyce, among its detainees.
