Drosendorf Castle is a castle in the town of Drosendorf-Zissersdorf in Lower Austria.

The Renaissance castle is located at the eastern corner of the historic town, integrated into the town fortifications. The castle was first mentioned in 1180. Its current form dates back to 1694, when it was rebuilt after a fire caused by a lightning strike. The tower was demolished in 1710.

The castle consists of four three-story wings that form a square inner courtyard. The castle also houses a chapel, which was baroqueized in 1681.

Owners+

From 1278, the Drosenburg dominion was owned by the Habsburgs, who, however, always leased it out. Thus, from 1293, the Lords of Capelln, who supported the Habsburg Rudolf I in the Battle of Dürnkrut and Jedenspeigen, held the dominion as tenants. Around 1355, the Lords of Wallsee are mentioned as tenants. In 1453, the dominion passed to the Eitzinger family.
