Inzersdorf Castle
Inzersdorf Castle was the name for two buildings in Inzersdorf .
Old castle
The old castle, which was built by the knights of Inzersdorf in the 17th century, was surrounded by a moat, over which two bridges led, including the church and the cemetery spreading behind it; one in the castle, the other in the church. The latter stood so that the tower was in the direction towards the mill.
The rear part of the church was connected to the castle by a covered corridor. The old castle had to give way to a community building in 1965.
New lock
The new castle was built in 1765 southwest of the old one. It was formerly called "Spiegelhof" and was a Freihof , which was originally built from four houses, two of which served the lordship and two of the Rambach family, who at the time also owned a court with subjects.
These noble or Freihöfe were probably not exempt from the community burdens, but from the power of rule. They had their own subjects, their own land register, and a land judge appointed by the landlord to represent his subjects in community affairs.
Such a Freihof formed a separate community within the community.
Reliable information about the Spiegelhof goes back to 1640, when it was owned by the Geyer von Osterburg family .
The castle in Inzersdorf (in contrast to the "old" castle building next to the church also called the "new castle") was built in 1765 by the then ruler Ferdinand Count Harrach in place of the so-called "Spiegelhof". In 1857 the castle and lordship of Inzersdorf came into the possession of the large industrial family of Heinrich Drasche . The building complex had the character of the construction at that time and was located with the northern front on the Liesing-Schwechater district road in a 9.8 hectare , exquisitely maintained French-style park.
Vis-a-vis, only separated by this district road, was an approximately 14 hectare English-style castle park. Of the individual rooms, the large music hall built in pure baroque style and the dining room renovated in Empire style were particularly noteworthy.
In the castle, which was only inhabited by the owner at the time for a few summer months, there was also a rich mineral collection.
The castles were damaged or destroyed by bombs during the Second World War and finally demolished in 1965 in the course of the construction of the Vienna Südosttangente . The area was partly built over by the newly built street and partly a public park was built, see Draschepark .
