Schloss Hunyadi History
Instead of the present castle, a Freihof stood at the end of the 16th century. Among the well-known owners are Dr. Sigmund of Oedt and Imperial Councilor Balthasar of Nollarn. Finally, in 1766, the Viennese merchant Joseph von Patuzzi bought the castle. In the same year the Empress Maria Theresa confirmed the privilege of Freihof for the castle.
The subsequent owners were, among others, Count Johann Josef von Seilern (1778), the Landgrave Ernst von Hessen-Philippsthal (1818), Count Carl von Neipperg (1832) and Count Moritz Almásy (1837).
From 1876 to 1901, the castle was owned by Alexandrine and Count Koloman Hunyadi, from whom it received its current name and was very popular in the village. Count Hunyadi was an imperial master of ceremonies and organized festive celebrations in the castle. After his death, the castle went to the Countess Julie Boos-Waldeck, who sold it to Adalbert Freiherr von Lanna.
From 1930 to 1955 there was a biscuit and pasta factory in the former stables, while the side wings were used by a board.
In order to protect the historic building and the castle park from industrial use as cement goods, the municipality of Maria Enzersdorf, with the support of the Niederösterreichische Siedlungswasserbau (NÖSIWAG), bought the castle and the park in neglected conditions in 1961 and opened it to the public. In 2004, the castle was completely renovated by the municipality.
The castle is a coveted place for weddings and celebrations, but also for other events of all kinds.
