Schloss Königshof, Heritage-protected castle in Bruckneudorf, Austria

Schloss Königshof is a former baroque castle complex in the Königshof district of Bruckneudorf, Burgenland, built at the start of the 17th century beside an existing mill on the bank of the Leitha. Its main portal carries the coat of arms of Abbot Gerhard Weixelberger, who had damage repaired after 1705. The large Trinity chapel was built in 1676 under Abbot Clemens Schäffer, and in 1745 the stonemason Elias Hügel directed its stonework.

Schloss Königshof was built in the early 17th century near a mill by the Leitha. In 1621 insurgent troops of Gábor Bethlen burned it down. Heiligenkreuz Abbey rebuilt and baroquified it under Abbot Clemens Schäffer (1658–1693), who commissioned the Trinity chapel in 1676. In 1683 Turks plundered the estate, and in 1703 Kuruc troops damaged it; Abbot Gerhard Weixelberger repaired it, and his coat of arms is above the main portal. It remained the abbey's administrative seat until 1912.

The name Königshof, "King's Court", is documented alongside the estate's role as seat of the abbey's steward, who acted for the abbot of Heiligenkreuz. The administrator was called Kastner; recorded holders include Vitus Mayr (1669–1673) and Jakob Gegenberger (1695–1698). Abt Gerhard Weixelberger, in office 1705–1728, had the damage repaired and placed his coat of arms above the main portal, where it can still be seen.

The castle stands in the Königshof district of Bruckneudorf, near the Leitha river and the Kaisersteinbruch quarries. It is privately owned and has been under restoration since 2010, so the grounds and interiors are not regularly open. Check locally before travelling, as building work can restrict access.

A 1636 order records Abbot Christoph Schäffer commissioning a tower clock with four dials from the Mödling clockmaker Martin Schmidt for 180 gulden. The clock was made for Königshof, where the abbey's estate administration sat from 1601 until 1912.
