Margarethen am Moos Castle

The two-story castle presents a nine-axial southwestern main facade with a three-axial central risalite and rounded corners topped by a hipped roof.

Originally constructed as a fortified refuge in the 11th century, the structure protected the eastern border of the Duchy of Austria against invasions.

The castle chapel contains frescoes created by artists associated with Franz Anton Maulbertsch, representing Austrian religious art of the period.

The castle functions as an event center with facilities for celebrations and gatherings, while also maintaining a riding center in its park.

The castle stood in marshy floodplains deliberately cleared of vegetation to prevent attackers from finding cover during sieges.
