Description

Schloss Drosendorf is a palace in the town of Drosendorf-Zissersdorf in Lower Austria.

The High Baroque castle-palace lies in the south-eastern corner of the historic town and is integrated into the medieval and early modern town fortifications. The frequently encountered attribution of Schloss Drosendorf to the Renaissance rests on a mistaken assumption, which is spread further in, among other places, various tourism publications. In fact the palace kept its castle-like character until a comprehensive rebuilding after a fire in 1694. This can be shown by, among other things, the town view by Matthäus Merian of 1645.
