Weinzierl Castle

The four-winged castle encloses a courtyard including arcades and corner towers in late-baroque style.

Originally used as medieval farm estate, Schloss Weinzierl was expanded in baroque style by Johann Carl Weber von Fürnberg in the 18th century.

A prominent guest that should become very important in music history was the then unknown artist Joseph Haydn, who received his first engagement at this place.

In 1883 the so-called "Emperor Franz Joseph Asylum Association" created a home for orphans at Schloss Weinzierl.

The castle is currently used for the direction and the administrative department of the Higher Federal Education and Research Institute Francisco Josephinum.
