History

Loosdorf Castle was originally built as a fortress in the Middle Ages and was owned by a number of noble families.

In the course of the Thirty Years' War, the castle was extensively destroyed by a massive fire. The castle owes its present form to the Princes of Liechtenstein.

Due to its centuries-long history, the castle displays elements of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Classicism. The Piatti family acquired Loosdorf Castle in 1834.
