Seibersdorf Castle - This manorial palace - originally constructed as a moated castle in the 2nd half of the 16th century - consists of a 3-storey ensemble with the main building & 4 encircling corner bastions with a beautiful view onto a park with lake. At first erected as a well-fortified construction & integral part of the line of defense along the river 'Leitha', its present-day baroque appearance is due to extensive reconstructions during the early 18th century......This is when the large ballroom & the grand staircase in the main building were erected. This is also when it was decided to accentuate the main entrance by means of a middletower with integrated chapel & pinnacle from the late baroque. The castle contains the main building - about 3.920m� floor space plus about 925m� cellar (utilized as artists workshop)& 4 adjacent annexes with together about 1.144m� - the sizes of which are approximately 220m�, 420m�, 190m� & 314m� (plus altogether about 730m� cellar fixed for living purposes). There are tenants in the main building as well as in the annexes -living quarters & artists workshop - whose leases will terminate in about 2 years (with 1 exception).
