Schloss Pellendorf is a baroque castle situated on a hill overlooking Pellendorf in Gaweinstal, Lower Austria, approximately eleven kilometers south of Mistelbach. With roots dating back to at least 1257 when a manor was documented, the castle was formally established in 1339 and later passed to the Liechtenstein family through the Schotten monastery. Featuring a blend of medieval robustness and baroque elegance with classic architecture, pointed arches, sturdy battlements, and distinctive red-tiled roofing, the castle reflects centuries of artistic refinement. Originally held by the Herberstein family from 1599 to 1716, the castle today functions as a popular hiking and walking destination. It appeals to families, nature enthusiasts, and history lovers seeking a connection to the region's noble heritage and scenic countryside.
