Liechtenstein Castle (Maria Enzersdorf)

He had also received the fiefs and tower houses of Leesdorf and Weikersdorf about 10 km south of it near Baden.

[4] The latter gave him Petronell-Carnuntum on the Danube as a fief, near the then border with the Kingdom of Hungary, where he built a castle near the old Roman settlement.

Liechtenstein castle, originally started with a tower, but probably immediately expanded into a larger palace complex during the 12th century, came into the Stadeck family as a result of the marriage of Dietmut of Liechtenstein (died 1308) to Leutold of Stadeck (died 1295).

However, the castle remained in ruins until 1884, when it was rebuilt by architect Carl Gangolf Kayser for Johann II.

[1][2][3] Today, the castle hosts the Nestroy Theatre Festival, which is held annually during the summer months.
