Schloss Seifersdorf, Gothic Revival château in Wachau, Germany.
Schloss Seifersdorf is a Gothic Revival castle in the Wachau landscape, designed by renowned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The building is characterized by pointed arches, crenellated walls, and finely worked stone facades, while a manor house and palace park complement the estate.
The estate was built in 1530 and came into the possession of Heinrich Graf von Brühl, a powerful Prime Minister of Saxony and Poland, in 1747. The Gothic Revival redesign happened later and shaped the current appearance before the von Brühl family gave up ownership in 1994.
The castle reflects a 19th-century fascination with medieval forms, visible in its pointed towers and decorative details that frame the surrounding landscape. Visitors can see how this romantic style shaped the region's visual identity.
The castle is currently undergoing renovation work, yet the visitor center continues to offer guided tours and events. Guests should check ahead to see which areas are accessible and prepare for uneven grounds in the palace park.
The estate holds a lesser-known history as a summer residence of an influential minister whose private collections and artworks shaped its interior spaces. Visitors can still trace this refined lifestyle in the preserved rooms today.
