history
In the absence of relevant literature, it is not possible to determine exactly when the castle was built. The building probably dates from the Middle Ages , as there are still remains of walls 150 cm thick. In the 17th century it was rebuilt on a hook-shaped floor plan. In the 18th century the building was used as an inn. From that time on it was known as Rohonczy Castle. Later the Niczky family from Nebersdorf bought the castle and had it expanded like a fort. It was restored again in 1880 in the style of historicism . In the 20th century, the Burgenland Chamber of Agriculture acquired the castle and for a short time housed an agricultural college for girls in it. The Eisenstadt diocese purchased the building in the late 1980s . Today the castle houses the St. Stephan House, an education and youth center.
