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.

Schwarzenbach Castle was built around 1200 and was mentioned in a document in 1254 in the Ofen Peace Treaty as “castrum Suarchumpah”. Today it has fallen into ruins but is still owned by the Esterházys. More about the story: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Schwarzenbach_(Nieder%C3%B6sterreich)

Ruins currently closed!! Schwarzenbach Castle, in a state of ruins, is located in the market town of the same name. The ruins on Schlossberg were built around 1200 and were mentioned in a peace treaty in 1254. In September 1337, a Hungarian army led by the Eisenburg and Ödenburg district Leustachius besieged Schwarzenbach Castle and took it before October 4, 1337. The castle was to be replaced with Achenstein Castle in Lower Styria, in today's Slovenia (approx. 3 hours' drive from Vienna). Anchenstein came from Austria to Hungary - but Schwarzenbach did not come from Hungary to Austria. Schwarzenbach was not handed over to Austria until 1362. Purchased in 1680 by the Esterhazys, who still own it today. However, around 1800 it was abandoned as an official residence and the once magnificent building gradually fell into disrepair. Because stones from the ruins rolled into the valley, the market town ordered the Esterházy Foundation to carry out renovation work in 2014, which was objected to due to the expected costs of 130,000 euros. As a result, the Federal Monuments Office agreed to a partial demolition. The Esterházy Foundation also offered the market town to exchange one hectare of land with ruins for ten hectares of forest, which the market town rejected. In 2016, a wall with a dilapidated archway was demolished. The ruins have fallen into disrepair and are in danger of collapsing. The ruins are overgrown with bushes, the inner courtyard is filled with rubble and remains of walls several meters high. A sign at the entrance warns of the danger of collapse. The castle ruins are listed as historical monuments.

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/
