Schloss Purgstall, Medieval castle in Purgstall an der Erlauf, Austria.
The castle stands on a triangular plateau of conglomerate rock at the confluence of Feichsenbach and Erlauf rivers in Lower Austria.
The Regensburg bishopric built the original settlement with a fortress around 1100, which passed to the Lengenbach family in 1121.
The castle chapel Mariahilf from the 14th century contains original elements including a cross-ribbed vault and a gallery from 1493.
The castle remains in private ownership, with only a section of the seven-hectare castle park open for public visits.
During 1943, the castle served as a secure storage location for collections from the City of Vienna Museums.
