Description

Pottendorf Palace was, until after 1945, an important moated palace in the municipality of Pottendorf in Lower Austria.

Pottendorf Palace was first documented in 1130 in connection with Rudolf von Pottendorf and was probably built shortly before then. Today it is a ruin and, together with its chapel and grounds, is a listed monument.
