Description

Schloss Kohfidisch (Hungarian Erdődy kastély) is located in the municipality of Kohfidisch in the district of Oberwart in the Austrian federal state of Burgenland. It was one of the main seats of the Hungarian magnate family of Erdődy and goes back originally to a farmstead (Meierhof), which in the 16th century was presumably replaced by a fortified residence. This was enlarged into a hunting lodge in the 17th century and underwent further extensions and alterations at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. In the years after the Second World War the building was damaged and numerous art objects were looted. The palace is owned by descendants of the Erdődy family and has been renovated and restored step by step since 1999. The building is a protected monument (list entry).
