Schloss Dobersberg, Renaissance castle in Dobersberg, Austria.
Schloss Dobersberg stands as a four-winged Renaissance castle featuring distinctive round towers with conical roofs at three corners and a square tower with an onion dome at the southeastern corner.
The castle was built around 1570 by Sigmund von Puchheim on the site of a medieval fortified structure that was destroyed by Hussite forces in 1425 and later reconstructed.
Today the castle serves as a municipal office and natural history museum, hosting exhibitions of ceramics by Austrian and Czech artists alongside regular cultural events including concerts.
The castle is accessible to visitors from May through October with guided tours available upon prior arrangement, though the building is not wheelchair accessible due to its historical architecture.
The castle houses a natural history museum displaying local minerals, insects, and fauna while also serving as the official seat of municipal government for the town of Dobersberg.
