Schloss Kreisbach, Medieval castle and museum in Wilhelmsburg, Austria
Schloss Kreisbach is a castle in Wilhelmsburg featuring four towers, preserved stone walls, and a Baroque chapel arranged within a connected building complex. The estate sits in the Traisen Valley and retains its medieval core structure with later baroque additions.
The castle was first documented in 1172 and changed hands several times before Lilienfeld Abbey acquired it in 1625. The Cistercian monastery has remained its owner and shaped the property over subsequent centuries.
The Anna Chapel serves as a venue for concerts and religious ceremonies, where the local music school regularly performs seasonal events. These gatherings connect the castle to the life of the surrounding community.
The castle can only be visited through pre-arranged guided tours that must be scheduled in advance. It is best to contact the management office directly before planning your visit.
The former grain storage of the castle was converted into a performance venue with a stage, hosting events since 2008. This transformation shows how historic buildings can take on new roles while serving the local community.
