Description

Schloss Schrattenthal is a former moated castle complex in the south of the town municipality of Schrattenthal in the district of Hollabrunn in Lower Austria. The castle and the former defensive works are protected monuments (list entry).

The privately owned complex of about 4,5 hectares, with castle, outer bailey and castle park, consists of various residential and farm buildings, the castle chapel and former fortification and defensive works, and can be visited.

The castle complex goes back to a defensive structure that was first mentioned in a document in the year 1220. The late Gothic new moated castle erected in the year 1435 was part of the medieval fortifications of the town of Schrattenthal and was remodelled in the Baroque style between 1660 and 1719. It received its present appearance through several conversions and extensions in the 19th century.

The castle served as a filming location for the television series Julia – Eine ungewöhnliche Frau, made between 1998 and 2002.
