Deutschkreutz Castle in central Burgenland was built in 1625 by Count Paul Nadasdy in the Italian Renaissance style and is located just 15 km from the Hungarian city of Sopron. The castle's layout is a combination typical of the border region, a combination of manor house, castle and farmyard. The four wings form a two-storey complex around a rectangular arcaded courtyard and four low corner towers covered with tent roofs protrude slightly into a former moat.

In 1966, the artist Anton Lehmden acquired the then desolate castle and has been busy repairing and renovating it since then and until his death in 2018.
Not only did he create his artist refuge here, but also the Lehmden Museum on over 800m² of exhibition space, which gives an overall insight into his artistic work.

Guided tours can be booked. According to the pictures on the webpage, definitely worth seeing. Art events are also regularly offered.
