Schloss Wolkersdorf

Schloss Wolkersdorf is a castle in Wolkersdorf im Weinviertel situated on an island surrounded by a moat. The structure was built as a four-tower complex with ashlar masonry and now serves multiple public purposes.

The castle was founded in the 13th century as a fortified stronghold that shaped the region for centuries. Napoleon Bonaparte visited the site in 1809 during his campaigns through Austria.

The castle houses the Regional Music School and hosts exhibitions and concerts throughout the year. These events shape the cultural rhythm of the town and draw visitors from the surrounding area.

Guided tours are available on select dates from March through November and offer access to the interior and history. Visitors should arrive early as spaces fill quickly and weather can affect accessibility around the grounds.

The castle tavern introduces new gin varieties monthly and features a large screen for sporting events. This unexpected offering brings modern hospitality into the historical surroundings.
