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.

The castle was built around 1528 from a medieval castle complex. Today, the Renaissance castle is a venue for concerts, exhibitions and seminars. You can also rent parts of the castle for your celebrations. Guided tours are also possible by arrangement.

The castle dates back to the 17th century and appears somewhat romantically dilapidated.

Kobersdorf Castle was built around 1528 from a medieval castle. In 1683 the complex was taken by the Turks and partially destroyed. After years of decay, the castle was bought and renovated by an architect in 1963. Today it is owned by her daughter and can only be viewed during events.

Due to the lack of relevant literature, it is not possible to determine exactly when the castle was built. The building probably dates from the Middle Ages, as there are still remains of walls 150 cm thick. In the 17th century it was rebuilt on a hook-shaped floor plan. In the 18th century the building was used as an inn. From this time it became known as Rohonczy Castle. The Niczky family from Nebersdorf later acquired the castle and had it expanded like a fort. It was restored again in 1880 in the historicist style. In the 20th century, the Burgenland Chamber of Agriculture acquired the castle and briefly housed an agricultural school for girls there. The Eisenstadt diocese acquired the building at the end of the 1980s. The castle now houses St. Stephan's House, an education and youth center.

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. More information: https://schlossdeutschkreutz.at/

Very nice castle in which the "Kobersdorf Castle Games" also regularly take place. The program can be found on the website. Guided tours are also offered by prior arrangement.
