Burg Neulengbach is a castle in Neulengbach in Lower Austria, Austria. It was founded around 1189. Neulengbach Castle was a hilltop castle on a free-standing and 80 m high mountain cone above the Lower Austrian town of Neulengbach in the Sankt Pölten-Land district, which was converted into a castle in the 16th and 17th centuries. The palace complex is a three-storey polygonal building with a double weir ring and eight round towers, a porch with a magnificent Renaissance portal and a courtyard with Tuscan double columns and a stone fountain basin. Neulengbach Castle was founded together with the market by the high libertarians from Lengenbach around 1189. The castle became the center of local Lengenbach rule. After the Lengenbachers died out in 1236, it came into the possession of the Babenbergs. In the late Middle Ages, Neulengbach Castle was the seat of sovereign caretakers and was often pledged. In 1565 Rudolf Khuen received the rule of Neulengbach from Belasy. Under the barons of Khuen, in the third third of the 16th century and in the first half of the 17th century, the castle was expanded or expanded into an unadorned late Renaissance palace.
