Schloss Neumatzen, Heritage protected castle in Münster, Austria.

Schloss Neumatzen is a heritage-protected castle in Münster, Tyrol, distinguished by small turrets, bay windows topped with onion domes, and decorated window frames. The facade displays an irregular arrangement of these elements along with varying floor heights, verandas, and polygonal corner projections.

Franz Lipperheide, a German publisher of fashion magazines with homes in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Rome and Cairo, bought land near Schloss Matzen after negotiations to purchase that castle failed. He commissioned Munich architect Georg von Hauberrisser to build a house of 730 m² of living space around 1890. A perspective published in 1891 is signed by Karlsruhe architect Eugen Bischoff, whose authorship is also recorded in the Thieme-Becker artist lexicon.

The castle reflects late Austrian residential design with its return to medieval building styles and decorative details. Visitors can observe these historicizing elements directly in the facade and window treatments when walking around the structure.

Schloss Neumatzen stands in the Münster bei Brixlegg municipality of Kufstein District, with Burg Lichtenwerth, Burg Kropfsberg and Schloss Matzen close by; the park of Schloss Matzen begins directly to the east. The grounds are private residential property, so visitors see the historicist exterior and the landscaped park with its terraces, fountains, grotto and pergola from the surrounding lanes.

The house was built for publisher Franz Lipperheide, who had tried and failed to buy neighbouring Schloss Matzen; he bought land nearby instead and had a 730 m² residence erected. Its guests included Gerhart Hauptmann, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach and Peter Rosegger, and Hugo Wolf dedicated his Elfenlied to Lipperheide's wife Frieda.
