Loosdorf Castle

The castle structure displays a combination of medieval fortification elements, Renaissance architecture, and classical decorative features from different construction periods.

First documented in 1320, the fortress underwent changes during the Thirty Years War, including reconstruction after a fire in 1645 destroyed parts of the building.

The castle holds a collection of Japanese and Chinese ceramics, with approximately 75 percent of the pieces originating from East Asian pottery traditions.

The castle exhibitions remain open to visitors throughout the year, with special attention to the preserved shards of porcelain from the World War II period.

Japanese experts started a restoration project in 2018 to repair damaged porcelain pieces using traditional Japanese ceramic repair techniques.
