Katzelsdorf-Schloss, Protected medieval castle in Katzelsdorf, Austria.

The rectangular fortress stands with three corner bastions and incorporates defensive elements from its original water castle construction near the Austrian border.

The first mention of the castle dates to 1183 by minnesinger Ulrich von Liechtenstein, with major renovations completed in the 17th century by Wolf Mathias von Königsberg.

Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, owned the castle from 1822 to 1830, followed by Marie Antoinette's daughter Marie Thérèse Charlotte de Bourbon in 1845.

The castle operates as an event and seminar center managed by the municipality of Katzelsdorf, offering restaurant services and public gathering spaces.

During World War II, the castle housed the largest horse hospital of the Eastern Front, with military troops occupying the main building.
