Brunnwald Castle has a long history, ranging from its construction between 1724 and 1727 to a fire in 1898 and reconstruction in 1905 to a maternity ward, a convalescent home and finally a restaurant. Today you can only admire the castle from the outside. It still somehow has a magical aura!

The castle in the forest area of the Brunnwald was built between 1724 and 1727 in the middle of the Brunnwald as a Starhemberg hunting lodge. A fire in 1898 largely destroyed it. In 1905 the palace was rebuilt. The four-storey tower protruding from the wall association comes from the reconstruction.

In 1939 the castle was confiscated by the National Socialists and used as a NSV mothers' home. After the Second World War, church services were held in the castle in the Bad Leonfelden area for the Protestants who had come about as a result of the large refugee movements. These were later moved to the market's main school. A maternity ward of the Diakoniewerk was also housed in the castle. In 1955 a Red Cross convalescent home was accommodated, after which the building stood empty for a while. From 1965 to 1982 it was leased to a Spanish association for guests and as a children's home.

There was a restaurant in the castle until 2019. Unfortunately, the company had to be closed.

Unfortunately the castle is getting on in years and is a bit orphaned.
