The Salmhof is an estate in Marchegg in Lower Austria .

Niklas Graf Salm built the estate on the site of a mill, which his son Niklas (1503–1550) expanded extensively in 1547. Paul Pálffy acquired the estate and had it extensively redesigned again in 1629. The main house received its current appearance in the late 18th century.

In the 19th century, the Salmhof was the center of a variety of activities, several racing stables such as that of the Rothschilds and that of Hugo Henckel von Donnersmarck were the responsibility of the trainer at the Salmhof , and competitions were also held. The Salmhof-Marchegg agricultural distillery was also housed.
