Schloss Drösiedl, Renaissance castle in Ludweis-Aigen, Austria.

Schloss Drösiedl is a three-story castle in Ludweis-Aigen with a square layout and Renaissance arcades framing its inner courtyard. The structure sits on elevated terrain and is surrounded by deep ditches filled with stone rubble.

Nikolaus der Dreyzidler is documented in 1283, the earliest written reference tied to the estate. From 1427 to 1612 the castle belonged to the Freiherren von Hofkirchen. Around 1600 the castle and its Meierhof were rebuilt, largely finished by 1611; the south portal is dated 1616. Restoration began in 1974.

The ornament bands flanking the south portal's passage carry a double-eagle relief and a Luther rose, motifs dating from around 1600. Three portals and a window on the east side keep late Gothic chamfering, likely remains of an older core. The name Drösiedl appears in 1283 with Nikolaus der Dreyzidler.

The castle stands at the end of an avenue west of Drösiedl, with the three-winged Meierhof and the baroque granary in front of it. The south front's round-arched portal is marked 1616. The site is a protected monument; the grounds are private, so view the ensemble from the public lane and the avenue.

The ornament bands flanking the south portal's passage carry a double-eagle relief and a Luther rose, carved around 1600. The portal itself is dated 1616, likely the year the building was finished. Three portals and a window on the east side keep late-Gothic chamfered edges, probably remains of an older core.
