The castle is situated next to the church on the Burgberg, and together they form the base of the fortification. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The building is a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>four-winged complex with a Renaissance core. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Gobelsburg Castle evolved from its once fortress structure as documented in 1178 into a castle by the 16th century and <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0in 1725 it was completely <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>rebuilt by Achaz von Ehrenreich.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

EXTERIOR BUILDING<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The castle presents itself today as a two-storey, four-sided building complex with a massive mansard hipped roof and a high compensatory base rising to the north. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The main fa\u00e7ade of the south tract is a 13-axial with 5-axial protruding fa\u00e7ade bays, as well as interlacing plaster work beneath the window roofing and in the fields following. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The middle-axis has a gabled portal with pilasters on the sides and depicts the Zwettl Monastery coat of arms. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A double coat of arms can also be found in the gable field. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The windows of the ground floor are furnished with baroque gratings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the lenticular courtyard there are arcades with groin vaulting on the north and south sides which are remains of the building from the 16th century. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>As a main accent to the courtyard in the north wing, a tri-axial central pavillion rises a half-storey higher, emphasized on the exterior and courtyard side in the upper storey by round-arch windows and oblique oval oculi between gigantic pilasters, respectively , standing volutes. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>In the raised part one can admire the sundial of 1743 (renovated in 1966). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The entrance door is equipped with metal fittings and handles from around the middle of the 18th century. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>In the drive-through entrance hall, on the north side, a wrought-iron door with metal bands and hand grips still remains from the 16th century.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

INTERIOR<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

One can reach the top floor up a triple stairway with a wrought-iron grill from the mid-18th century. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>These grandiose rooms, of which there are six in number, are housed in the south tract. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>In the south-west corner is the chapel with a stuccoed flat ceiling. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>There is an oval frame on the curved mirror containing the oil painting \u201cThe Birth of Christ\u201d from Martin Johann Schmidt, from the middle of the 18th century. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>It is decorated with a sarcophagus altar,\u00a0 a picture-frame altarpiece from 1769 and a side pilasters with volute extensions. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The altar picture depicts \u201cSt. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Bernard Before the Cross,”\u00a0 also from MJ Schmidt.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rooms on the top floor are adorned with leaf work and interlacing stucco. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The south tract is characterized by grooved flat ceilings with stuccoed or painted scenes from Roman or Greek mythology. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A further characteristic of these rooms are the four tiled ovens from the second half of the 18th century. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>These are glazed in various colors, with partly unglazed, respectively, gilded interlacing decoration with figural additions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
