Burgschleinitz Castle in Burgschleinitz in the Lower Austrian district of Horn was placed under monument protection by decision .
Description and history
The former Burgschleinitz Castle was the ancestral seat of an Austrian ministerial family . The last of this family, Otto von Schleunz, was killed near Staatz in the fight against Hungary in 1260 . Several changes of ownership followed.
In 1480 Hussite troops under Wenceslaus Wlčeks were able to establish themselves here, until the castle was recaptured by Austrian troops in 1482 and completely destroyed. From around 1543 the castle was rebuilt and expanded from around 1589 under Georg Bayer von Niederdürnbach .
At the beginning of the Thirty Years War , Burgschleinitz was burned down by Bohemian troops and later rebuilt by the Count of Kuefstein , who lived at Greillenstein Castle . Around 1920 the widow Anna von Sazenhofen from the noble family von Sazenhofen acquired the castle. The castle is currently owned by the Eckert family. The actress Andrea Eckert , the great-grandson of Anna von Sazenhofen, grew up here.
The moat has been flooded again since 1974.
Franz Grillparzer was one of the guests at Burgschleinitz Castle .
description
It is not known when Burgschleinitz Castle was converted into a palace.
Burgschleinitz Castle is surrounded by a pond and can only be reached via a bridge with a statue of Johannes Nepomuk from the second quarter of the 18th century.
The main building is made up of three two-storey building wings with hipped roofs, which are grouped around a narrow, irregular, almost rectangular courtyard. The fourth side of the courtyard forms a wall with a door through which the forecourt can be reached via a staircase.
This semicircular forecourt is bordered by quarry stone walls and closed on the east side by the rectangular gate tower with a round arched passage.
The first forecourt in the form of an irregular rectangle is surrounded by ancillary buildings and also closed off from the outside by rubble stone walls with the main gate. From this main gate there is a bridge over the moat. There used to be a drawbridge here.
