Schloss Gatterburg, Retz, Renaissance castle in Retz, Austria

The three-story castle features a quadrangular layout with a central courtyard and two service wings connected to the main building through stone passages.

Following destruction by Hussites in 1427, Nikolaus Bethlen transformed the original farmhouse into a Gothic town castle at the end of the 15th century.

The Renaissance great hall displays ornate ceiling designs from 1670, while other rooms contain baroque architectural elements added during the 1712 renovation.

The castle remains under private ownership by the Suttner-Gatterburg family and stands in the southeastern section of the historic Retz city center.

The tower knob contains a memorial document dedicated to God and the Emperor, installed during the baroque renovation by Constantin Josef von Gatterburg.
