Schloss Schiltern, Medieval castle in Langenlois, Austria

Schloss Schiltern is a two-storey three-winged building with four round corner towers topped by shingled baroque onion domes, located in Schiltern, part of Langenlois. Its nine-axis north facade faces the village street and features baroque window pediments and a surrounding console cornice. The main portal from the early 18th century is flanked by Ionic pilasters and carries the Aichelburg coat of arms.

Around 1596 Erasmus Leisser expanded a farmstead on the western edge of Schiltern into the north wing of the present building. West and south wings were added between 1629 and 1636, and Swedish troops plundered the castle in 1645. Around 1740 it was largely remodelled in Baroque style; the Geymann brothers repaired war damage from 1663, and the Aichelburg family acquired it in 1856.

Since 1987 the castle has belonged to the Psychosozialen Zentrum Schiltern GmbH, which supports people with mental impairments in returning to the labour market through work in its workshops. Parts of the castle garden are leased to the Verein Arche Noah, which uses them to cultivate and keep varieties of useful plants.

The castle is now managed by a Psychosocial Center that provides support and rehabilitation services on the grounds. Visitors should be aware that access may be limited, as it remains an active care facility with scheduled operations.

The baroque west portal carries a soldier's bust between two flower vases on its hood moulding, and the west wing keeps Venetian chimneys. Inside the square chapel, frescoes from around 1760 in the manner of Johann Leopold Daysinger were uncovered and restored in the second half of the 20th century, showing the Christian virtues and the four Evangelists.
