Raczynski Castle

The construction of Raczynski Castle began in 1874 when the wealthy Count Carl Eduard Nalecz-Raczynski acquired an extensive property in Bregenz. For his wife, Princess Caroline Theresia von Oettingen-Wallerstein, he had this impressive estate built between 1875 and 1877 according to plans by architect Stefan Tragl. The completed castle villa, a gift for the Countess's 47th birthday in 1878, became the center of a luxurious court and the scene of numerous social events. After the death of the Countess in 1898 and the Count a year later, his nephew Eduard Graf Nalecz-Raczynski inherited the property. In 1904, the Dominican Order acquired the castle, which thereafter served as a convent and school building under the name Marienberg. After being used as a lazaret and a home for French mothers and children during and after World War II, the Dominicans regained the property in 1946. A comprehensive renovation took place between 1976 and 1997.

Raczynski Castle is located in Bregenz, in the district of Bregenz, in the federal state of Vorarlberg, Austria. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 454 m above sea level.

Today, Raczynski Castle houses a monastic operation and serves as a school building. The main building is also rented out for seminars and events.
