history
The castle in Böckstein was built between 1882 and 1884 as a hunting lodge for Count Rudolf von Czernin and is now used as the summer and vacation home of its owners. The first palace building fell victim to a fire on August 15, 1902 and was rebuilt between 1902 and 1903 according to plans by Josef Wessicken , a student of the Ringstrasse architect Friedrich von Schmidt , and the master builder Angelo Comini.
The small castle consists of a combination of "old German" and English elements and is characterized by a mixture of castle and country house character with national romantic features.
The castle is privately owned by the Czernin-Kinsky family and cannot be visited.
