    Tips

    Altkettenhof Castle was rebuilt as the family seat of Anton Dreher II at the beginning of the 20th century. The location of this building, which is still imposing today, can look back on a long history.

    Translated by Google •

      In 1957, as a result of the suppression of the popular uprising in Hungary the previous year, Altkettenhof was used to accommodate 1,000 Hungarian refugees.

      In 1960, the tourist office and the district court finally moved into the castle. After the traffic office moved to the building of the Federal Police Commissariat at Wiener Straße 13 in 1963, the vacated rooms were now used to accommodate the school of justice. This was officially opened in the spring of 1964.

        The building has served as a district court since 1960 and as a judicial school since 1964. From 1995 to 1999 the castle was renovated for around 6 million euros.
