The Haindorf Castle is a castle in the same cadastral district of the city Langenlois in Lower Austria. Since there is another castle in Haindorf, it is also known as the lower castle.

The baroque Haindorf Castle developed from the field mill , which was first mentioned in 1624. The roots are likely to go back even further, to the Loisbachmühle , which was first mentioned two hundred years earlier in 1407. It belonged to the lordship owned by Peter Hann. In 1582, the president of the court chamber, Reichard Streun von Schwarzenau, owned Haindorf. In the following decades the owners changed frequently. From 1680 to 1876 the Counts von Grundemann were the owners. Then it was bought by Baron Leopold Popper von Podhragy. It fell into disrepair under Baron Sales. It was restored again under the heraldist Friedrich Graf Lanjus von Wellenburg. During the occupation it was devastated by the Soviet occupation soldiers, so that the count's widow, the local poet Theres Lanjus, had to move out in 1945. The Sachseneder company later set up company apartments in the castle.

In 1973 the state of Lower Austria bought the castle and completely renovated it until 1978. The state guild of the building trade uses the castle as a training center. A three-star seminar hotel is also attached to the Bauakademie. Behind the castle is a large castle park that extends to the Kamp .

In 1995, the ZDF television series Spiel des Lebens was filmed in Haindorf Castle .
