Schloss Gschwendt, Medieval castle in Neuhofen an der Krems, Austria.

The castle stands on Steyrerstraße, featuring traditional Austrian architectural elements with a combination of historical defensive structures and residential spaces.

First documented in 1308 as a Passau fief, the castle belonged to the Losensteiner family from 1369 and served as a refuge during wartime.

The castle transformed from an aristocratic residence to a mental health facility in 1894, reflecting changing social priorities in Upper Austrian society.

Located east of the Krems River in the district of Gries, the castle now operates as a modern care and rehabilitation center.

During the 1626 Peasants' War, the castle witnessed a significant battle between peasant forces and imperial troops under Colonel Hans Christoph Löbl.
