history
The renaissance castle was built in 1571 by Hans Ulrich von Ludmanstorf, who died in 1572. In 1576, Helmhard VIII Freiherr von Jörger bought the property and had it expanded, his son Helmhard the Younger completed the castle in 1619. During the Thirty Years War , the castle went to Empress Eleonora Gonzaga , who owned the Walpersdorf property as a property to supply the Loreto Chapel she had donated in Vienna with 400 florins a year . After the death of the Empress, Georg Ludwig von Sinzendorf bought the castle , who built Austria's first factory building there - a silk spinning mill. After his death, his widowed wife had to sell the system to Count Ludwig Colloredo-Wallsee, who bequeathed it to his daughter Maria Antonia Josefa Montecuccoli. After her death in 1738 the inheritance came to Count Camillo Colloredo-Wallsee. From 1859 to 1956 the castle belonged to the Falkenhayn family . Marie Countess Falkenhayn finally bequeathed Walpersdorf along with other goods to the Order of the Missionary Sisters of St. Petrus Claver . The castle was badly damaged in World War II, but it was repaired again.
Until 2014, it was owned by the Missionary Order. Since only very few sisters lived in Walpersdorf, the castle was sold. Since then, the castle has housed the Lederleitner company interior store, from March 2019 the castle restaurant Schlossküche Walpersdorf Blauenstein and, since 2017, a craft beer brewery with the hop spinning mill.
Pheasantry
In the years 1577 to 1619, a pheasantry was built around 800 meters southeast of the castle. The large rectangular area is surrounded by a wall and at the corners there are hexagonal, two-story corner towers with a tent roof. In January 2018 a fire destroyed the roof structure of the southeast tower. The cause was a fault in the electrical system, which led to a cable fire.
