The former medieval castle was converted into a Renaissance palace by the noble Hager family between 1544 and 1570. When the German Reich built the Allentsteig military training area in 1938, where up to 60,000 soldiers were stationed at times, it made the castle the headquarters of the command. It retained this function when it was handed over to the Republic of Austria after the Russian occupation from 1945 to 1955. The castle is still the headquarters of the TÜPL command today https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Allentsteig

After I barely saw anything of the castle on my first visit in June 2022, I was lucky enough to get a small “private tour” today. The very nice doorman not only let me take a look behind the entrance gate, but also told me a lot of interesting things about the history. So ask nicely when you visit 😉. I think he enjoys being shown around a bit when time allows.

The sign "private way" stopped me from going any further to take a closer look at the castle. Right now I'm reading an article in the NÖN from May 7th, 2022 - "Allentsteig Castle is today the seat of the TÜPl command. SINCE LAST WEEK PART OF IT CAN BE VISITED. Julius Schlapschy leads through the walls". If I had known that, I would at least not have been so careful. Lessons learned - read before, not afterwards 😊. Allentsteig Castle has never been open to the public before. It was privately owned until 1938, after which the German Reich used it as the headquarters of the command after the construction of the Allentsteig military training area. And even during the Russian occupation, it served as a seat for the military. "During this time, a lot of the furniture disappeared, even decorative door frames were torn out," said information officer Julius Schlapschy, who conducted the very first public tour last Saturday. When it passed to the Republic of Austria after the occupation, the castle became the seat of the military training area command on May 8, 1957. Today there are offices, work and meeting rooms.
