Schloss Zweibrüggen

Schloss Zweibrüggen stands between the Palenberg and Frelenberg districts in the Wurmtal valley, combining classicist architecture with medieval foundations and surrounded by a water moat. The building serves today as an administrative center with a municipal office and as a home for art galleries and work studios.

The castle was built in 1341 and passed through several noble families including von der Hagen, von Mirbach, and von Eys. In 1788, Joseph von Negri constructed the current building in classicist style.

The castle now serves the town as a venue for art exhibitions, concerts, and cultural events that bring the community together. Visitors can experience the building during various gatherings held throughout the year.

The castle is publicly accessible and can be visited during organized events held throughout the year. It is easily reached from the town center, and the surrounding area offers walking paths along the Wurm river.

The architecture follows mathematical proportions between building elements, reflecting Joseph Anton von Negri's connection to Viennese design and Empress Maria Theresa. Observant visitors can notice this subtle geometric harmony when studying the facade and layout.
