The Schüttkasten of Schloss Primmersdorf was built in 1706 by Jakob Prandtauer on behalf of the Herzogenburg Monastery and is described as the most beautiful in Lower Austria .
The bulk box is a three-story structure. The longitudinal outer walls have framed wide windows, the gable walls have three wide oval hatches and curved gable attachments that are crowned with spheres. In addition to the windows, the facade is also structured by a stone frame and cordon cornices.
The door in the north-facing gable wall has a stone frame with ears. In the attic attachment to the year 1706. At the place located above lintels are lateral pedestals , which also carry balls. Above is the abbot's coat of arms as a stone relief with the inscription "Maximilianus Propst zu Herzogenburg". The upper end is formed by an end beam crowned with a ball. On the side above the door there is an arched niche in the gable wall.
There is a two-nave pillar hall on the ground floor. The floor is covered with bricks and the ceiling is made of wood.
The Vienna- born textile artist Vesna (Elfriede MichI) acquired Primmersdorf Castle and the Schüttkasten in order to move her workshops, which were located in the center of Vienna and were suffering from space problems, here. The decline in orders and a declining number of employees forced them to sell the castle, only a few farm buildings and the bulk box remained in their ownership.
After a renovation, the Primmersdorf Schüttkasten was opened in 2005 as an event location for private and public celebrations and cultural events.
