The Castle
Ballroom
Located half-way between Vienna and Bratislava, Castle Petronell counts, artistically and architecturally, among the most significant 17th century castles in Austria. Situated at the very edge of the Danube terraces, it was built at least in part on foundations existing since Roman times. The precise location of the foundations is the subject of an ongoing study.

The castle is located in the vicinity of the Carnuntum Archaeological Park and adjacent to the National Park March-Donauauen, and is thus not only a component of the largest archaeological excavation site in Austria, but also one of the most important nature preserves of the country.
