Baumgarten Castle is privately owned and today houses a veterinary practice, among other things. You can drive up to the beautiful Schosshof. Really worth seeing building.
Story:
The High Freemen of Adilgeresbach can be traced back to 1074. 1140 Dietrich von Baumgarten is mentioned as the owner. The castle at that time was probably located next to the parish church. Around 1160, the courtyard in an orchard was expanded like a castle and the old fortifications were abandoned. Around 1170 Baumgarten came to the High Freemen of Lengenbach. In the years from 1280 to 1308 Heinrich von Baumgarten, a brother of Gotfried von Totzenbach, is attested as lord of the castle in Ollersbach. From 1352 to 1503 Baumgarten was a castle of the Seebecks, who lived in the area of today's Neulengbach. From 1565 it was owned by the Trauttmansdorff family. Johann Andreas Graf Trauttmansdorff sold it in 1618 to Baron Johann Eusebius Khuen von Belasi on Neulengbach.
With this rule it passed to the Counts Pálffy. In 1683 the castle was destroyed by Turkish raiders, but was soon rebuilt. In 1709 Baumgarten came to Susanne Therese Countess Auersperg and in 1717 to Christoph Heinrich Count Galen. His widow married Baron Carl Ludwig Hildebrand von Prandau, in whose family Baumgarten remained until 1809. After that, the castle was owned by Maria von Pidoll zu Quintenbach. From 1841 to 1931, the Counts of Bussy-Mignot were the lords of the castle. In 1938 Dr. Max Lechner the castle. It was burned down in 1945, but completely restored on the outside by Dipl. Ing. Walter Lechner. In 2001 it was auctioned again.
