Top 7 Castles around Raiding

Documented as early as the 13th century, it experienced turbulent times as a Hungarian border fortress before being expanded to its characteristic form in the 16th and 17th centuries: Striking round towers with mighty conical roofs define its exterior today. In addition to the well-known festivals, the castle is also a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and seminars. Parts of the castle, along with the garden, can be rented for conferences, celebrations, and weddings. Guided tours are also possible by appointment.

Already in the late 19th century, Lajos Bella researched all the hilltop settlements around Sopron. He discovered 136 large and 60 smaller burial mounds on Burgstallberg. Around 1970, Gyula Szádeczky-Kardos found only a total of 159 of them during renewed surveying and mapping work. Systematic excavations took place from 1971 to 1978 under the direction of Erzsébet Patek.

This building, constructed around 1770 using older components, is a good example of the numerous aristocratic country estates that were built in what was then western Hungary after the Turkish threat was averted. Nebersdorf Castle remained in the family's possession until 1939, when it was confiscated by the German authorities from its last representative, Count Ladislaus Niczky, and sold to the Heller industrial family in 1944. In 1952, they sold the castle and estate to the municipality of Nebersdorf. The municipality had the park's magnificent trees felled, the grounds divided into parcels, and sold to local residents. The castle was left to decay. In 1961, innkeeper Rudolf Golubits acquired the already very dilapidated building. He had its exterior restored starting in 1975. The ballroom was also restored to its former glory. The remaining interior rooms, which even housed livestock in the post-war period, were transformed into a tavern with the necessary ancillary rooms. Today, the restaurant is closed again, and the castle stands largely empty. However, it is in good condition and still belongs to Mr. Golubits.

Deutschkreutz Castle in central Burgenland was built in 1625 by Count Paul Nadasdy in the Italian Renaissance style and is located just 15 km from the Hungarian city of Sopron. The castle's layout is a combination typical of the border region, a combination of manor house, castle and farmyard. The four wings form a two-storey complex around a rectangular arcaded courtyard and four low corner towers covered with tent roofs protrude slightly into a former moat.

The castle was built around 1528 from a medieval castle complex. Today, the Renaissance castle is a venue for concerts, exhibitions and seminars. You can also rent parts of the castle for your celebrations. Guided tours are also possible by arrangement.
