Schloss Schrattenthal is a baroque castle located in the municipality of Schrattenthal, Lower Austria. Originally built in the 17th century by the Counts of Sprinzenstein, it underwent significant remodelling in the 18th century under Count Christian Philip zu Königsegg-Rothenfels, resulting in its current form. Throughout its history, Schloss Schrattenthal served various purposes including a residential estate and a military hospital during World War I.

Today, the castle functions as a cultural venue hosting concerts, exhibitions and events. It is recognized for its well-preserved baroque architecture and surrounding parkland. The castle’s acoustics are considered particularly suitable for musical performances due to its architectural features and historical use as a gathering space.
