Schloss Pöchlarn, Renaissance castle in Pöchlarn, Austria.

The castle exhibits an L-shaped layout with two floors, featuring the south wing as its oldest section dating to the 13th century.

The structure evolved from a Roman military camp to a fortified residence in 1334, later transformed into a Renaissance castle by Bishop David Kölderer in 1576.

The building represents the architectural transition from medieval fortification to Renaissance design, reflecting the changing needs of religious administrative centers.

The castle functions as a senior residence and nursing home since 2005, following extensive renovations completed in 2004.

Archaeological excavations in 2002 revealed foundations of a Roman fort and medieval walls beneath the current structure.
