Oberpullendorf Castle

Oberpullendorf Castle (also known as Rohonczy Castle) is located in the municipal area of Oberpullendorf.

Due to a lack of relevant literature, it is not possible to determine exactly when the castle was built. The building presumably dates from the Middle Ages, as wall remnants 150 cm thick are still present. In the 17th century, it was rebuilt on a hook-shaped floor plan. In the 18th century, the building was used as an inn. From this time on, it became known as Rohonczy Castle. Later, the Niczky family from Nebersdorf acquired the castle and had it expanded in a castle-like manner. It was restored again in 1880 in the Historicist style. In the 20th century, the Burgenland Chamber of Agriculture acquired the castle and briefly housed an agricultural vocational school for girls there. In the late 1980s, the Diocese of Eisenstadt acquired the building. The castle today houses Haus St. Stephan, an education and youth center.
