description
The name is derived from Annabichl Castle, which Georg Khevenhüller had built for his second wife Anna in 1580. It is a three-story building with five window axes to the east. This facade is elaborately designed, the west facades, on the other hand, very simple.
To the south of it is a baroque chapel dedicated to St. Anne. It was built after 1774.
The castle has a historic terrace garden that extends to St. Veiter Straße. Originally, the garden extended even further to the east.
