Wasserburg, Niederösterreich, Lower Austria

The Castle is situated 45 km west of Vienna, the capital of Austria. Nearby is the Danube valley "Wachau", with its famous vineyards, monasteries, castles and small old villages - one of the most beautiful parts of the country and perfect for sightseeing tours.

 

The history of the castle of the Castle goes back as far as the 12th Century. Today it presents itself as a romantic baroque castle surrounded by a lovely pond -once the moat - inhabited by all kinds of ducks and other water-birds as well as lots of fish. Thoroughbred horses graze in paddocks in the historical park in the shade of enormous old trees and you will find many romantic spots for picnics.

 

The first floor of the castle: a large salon, a library with an open fireplace, a Chinese dining room, a spacious kitchen and a hall for social functions.  The guest rooms are on the second floor. We have an excellent cook and two housemaids who have been with us for over ten years. They are extremely helpful and dependable.

 

There is a luxurious outdoor pool (22 x 14m) a pool house and a tennis court (sand) set in a historical rock garden.   For golf players there are several excellent golf courses in the vicinity.  The castle sleeps 18.  There are 9 bedrooms, 4 double with bathroom en suite, 5 doubles with 3 bathrooms to share. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, decorated in English country style.   On the ground floor you will find a small entrance hall, a great hall with an open fireplace, vestibule, a small salon, and a sauna.
