Schloss Ottenschlag

The castle features three prominent round corner towers with tent roofs, arranged in a horseshoe shape around a central courtyard with Renaissance elements.

Wolfgang von Rogendorf initiated the construction of this water castle in 1523, incorporating an existing medieval fortress that remained until the 18th century.

The entrance portal displays Mannerist reliefs with intricate designs of vines, grotesques, and coats of arms, reflecting the artistic preferences of the 16th century.

The castle functions as a venue for events, featuring spaces suitable for weddings, corporate gatherings, and cultural exhibitions throughout the year.

The southern tower contains an eight-part cell vault with a star-shaped keystone, representing the oldest preserved architectural element in the structure.
