젤렌도르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 동굴

Located in the middle of town at a crossroads.

Beautiful old moated castle although not always open to the public.

A farm used to stand on the south-east corner of the town. The "new" castle was built on its site from the Hungarian period after 1486 until the 18th century. Over the centuries, the owners were the Eitzing, Krausenegg and Hoyos families, before the Retz estate was acquired by the Imperial Court, War and Finance Councillor Konstantin Josef von Gatterburg in 1709. After the Baroque renovation from 1712, the building remained essentially unchanged. The fourth town tower that was originally here collapsed soon after it was built due to construction defects and erosion.

Unfortunately (at the moment?) it can only be admired from the outside…

A particularly great area. It rolled well on this section.

The original Althof Castle in the northwest corner of the city fortifications of Retz was destroyed by the Hussites (Taborites) in 1425/1427. In the southeast corner of the city fortifications there was initially a Meierhof, which was expanded into a Gothic city castle at the end of the 15th century by the burgrave and city captain Nikolaus Bethlen. The Counts of Hoyos acquired control in 1630 and built today's castle in 1660. In 1709 the imperial court and war councilor Konstantin Josef von Gatterburg bought the estate. He gave the building a Baroque style in 1712. In addition to Retz, he also owned the estates of Zwölfaxing and Pellendorf. In 1717 the family was elevated to the status of count as Counts of Gatterburg, barons of Retz. Today the estate is owned by the Suttner-Gatterburg family.

The castle was first mentioned in 1343. In the 15th century it was occupied by the Hungarians under Matthias Corvinus. Emperor Frederick III won the building back and in 1497 his son Maximilian I entrusted Heinrich Prüschenk von Stettenberg with the rule. It was probably converted into a moated castle in the first half of the 17th century. A mention in 1644 describes it as newly built. From 1669 to 1827, the owners at the time, the Barons von Gilleis, carried out the Baroque renovation of the castle. Other owners from 1832 to 1839 were Josef von Hempel, as well as the Lords of Neuhaus and the Geymüller family. After the Second World War, demolition was considered due to the dilapidated condition of the building, but partial renovations were carried out. Kattau Castle is still the center of the estate and belongs to the Hiller family. More about the story: http://www.burgen-austria.com/archive.php?id=1346

There is a drinks vending machine at the Nah und Frisch store.
