Schloss Wald, Renaissance water castle in Pyhra, Austria
The three-story castle complex includes both an old and new section, with a round tower topped by a conical roof and walls three meters thick.
First documented in 1140 as the residence of Udalschalk von Wald, the castle was captured by Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus troops in 1485 and Ottoman forces in 1683.
The structure evolved from a medieval fortress into a Renaissance castle during the 16th century under the ownership of the Herren von Greiß family.
Located at Schlossweg 1 in Lower Austria, the castle remains private property of the Auersperg family and requires permission for visits.
Jerome Bonaparte, under the name Hieronymus Fürst von Montfort, briefly owned the castle in 1817 during his exile period.
