history

As early as the early 12th century, a " lordship ", a property, is documented in the area of ​​today's market town of Atzenbrugg . The name of the place can be traced back to the owner Azzo . There is also evidence of Celtic and Carolingian residents. A woman Gertrud von Azzenpruck is mentioned around 1190, and a coat of arms of the Lords of Azenbruck has been documented since 1313. The building history of today's castle can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Initially this castle had a moat. The country palace had been owned by Klosterneuburg Monastery since 1379, and in 1398 an existing chapel was expanded and consecrated to St. Catherine.

During the second Turkish siege (1683–1686) , heavy damage occurred. In 1691 repairs were carried out by the Italian plasterer Domenico Piazzol . There was further restoration work around 1746.

The castle has been owned by the market town since 1977.

Schubert Museum

In the early 19th century, the legal advisor Joseph Derffel (* around 1766, † after 1843) was the estate administrator. Through his nephew Franz von Schober , the composer Franz Schubert and many of his friends (including the von Spaun family , Leopold Kupelwieser , Moritz von Schwind , Eduard von Bauernfeld ) visited Atzenbrugg several times for a few days and talked there with music and ball games . Schubertiaden took place there for several years .

Towards the end of the 20th century, the activities of a number of Schubertians - including Rosa Schwab (1921–2009) - led to concert cycles by internationally acclaimed Schubert interpreters, for example with Robert Holl or Kurt Equiluz , who generated the income for the renovation of the palace and the The establishment of a Schubert Museum. The lock of Schubert's hair on loan comes from the estate of the Schubert researcher Ignaz Weinmann, which belongs to the Vienna Library .

The Schubert Museum received the recognition award of the Austrian Museum Prize in 1996 .
