Neuaigen castle, Renaissance castle in Tulln an der Donau, Austria.
Neuaigen is a Renaissance castle in Tulln an der Donau featuring a two-story main block with a square gatehouse on its southern face. Two side wings with arcaded galleries frame a central courtyard where the architecture shows careful attention to proportioned design.
Baron Laurenz von Hofkirchen built the castle in 1494, and his descendant Georg Andre von Hofkirchen carried out major updates in the early 1600s. These two building campaigns shaped the structure as it stands today.
The chapel within the castle served as a spiritual center for residents and visitors over centuries. Religious artwork and architectural details remain visible throughout the rooms today.
The castle sits along Kremser Street on the western edge of Neuaigen village and holds protected status under Austrian heritage law. Check ahead about access since it remains in private hands and visiting hours can be restricted.
Soviet troops occupied the castle for roughly a decade after World War Two, leaving their mark on the structure. When Franz-Albrecht Metternich-Sandor took ownership, he launched a thorough restoration campaign starting in 1970 that brought it back to life.
