About Grafenegg
Seven centuries of history can be seen in the architecture of Grafenegg Castle. Extended in the 19th century, it has become Austria’s most important example of historicism. Here you can find stylistic traces from Gothic through Baroque and Biedermeier to elegant Neo-gothic.
With its soaring tower, grandiose façades, stylish staircases, atmospheric arcades and attractive chapel, Grafenegg Castle has become an emblem of Lower Austria.
The fairytale-like castle is surrounded by hundreds of trees from all over the world, including a couple of rarities. The network of paths, on which you can explore the various phases of the grounds’ development, leads to the newly built open-air arena, the Wolkenturm. Walking about, you also come across contemporaryworks of art – replenished over time and always surprising – like the Buchsdom Tower by US American artist Mark Dion, a unique ensemble of nature and human creative power
