Facts and practical information

Schrattenthal Castle is a former moated castle in the south of the municipality of Schrattenthal in the district of Hollabrunn in Lower Austria. The castle and the former fortifications are under monument protection.

The privately owned, approximately 4.5 hectare complex with castle, outer castle and castle park consists of various residential and farm buildings, the castle chapel and former fortifications and defenses and can be visited.

The castle complex dates back to a defensive fortification that was first mentioned in documents in 1220. The late Gothic new moated castle built in 1435 was part of the medieval fortifications of the town of Schrattenthal and was baroqueized between 1660 and 1719. It received its present appearance through several reconstructions and extensions in the 19th century.

The castle served as a filming location for the television series Julia - An Unusual Woman, created between 1998 and 2002.
