The location includes two buildings:

Seeburg Castle ( ⊙ ) is a villa built in the 1870s . It is in a wide park. It is a two-storey, splendid half-timbered building in the home style of the Belle Époque , in two wings with a crooked roof and gables . The polygonal stair tower, attached to the rear right corner, is covered with an onion dome. A side wing extends from the tower along the park.

Gut Seeburg ( ⊙ ) is a mighty manor from the same time. It presents itself as a two-storey, elongated three- wing complex with gable roofs . The facade is strictly structured with stone- sighted pilaster strips and a curved band, and narrow, high windows. The building is parallel to the street, somewhat apart and visible from afar. The building was designed by Carl Adolf Romstorfer and executed in 1892.

history

As early as 1870, Ritter von Klein acquired some small farms in the Ybbstal, which had run down after the collapse of the iron and ironing industry in Eisenwurzen , and built the stately villa. A little later, Dr. Otto Schaup took over the property and other farms, and formed the Seeburg estate from them , with 462  hectares worth 720,000 crowns .

In 1913 Gustav Davis , founder of the Kronen Zeitung , who had been based at Gut Hohenlehen south of the turn of the century , also acquired this estate. In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, the Imperial and Royal Radautz State Stud in the Eastern Carpathians (in today's Romania), which had got into the front, was quartered here. After the war, which had badly damaged the property, Davis sold it to Dr. Ing.Leo Bachmayr-Heyda von Lowczicz, around 646,000 crowns.

Today both the castle and the estate are privately owned, the former was temporarily run as a guesthouse, the latter is an organic farm .
