Destroyed during the second Turkish siege, the castle was rebuilt in a baroque style by Count Otto Christoph von Volkra. In the mid-18th century, Count Heinrich Kajetan von Blümegen, a state minister, became the new lord of the castle. Blümegen, who also owned estates in Moravia, had the "Kettenhofer Zitz- und Kattunfabrik" established in 1766. (See Chap. IX.1)

Altkettenhof Castle, also known as Dreher Castle or Kettenhof Castle, is a baroque castle in the Lower Austrian town of Schwechat. The castle was built in the 13th century as a small complex in what is now the Alt-Kettenhof district of Schwechat and was continually expanded. In 1760, the Archducal Austrian First Chancellor Heinrich Kajetan von Blümegen (1715–1788) became the new owner of the castle and expanded it. In 1766, he founded the Kettenhofer cotton and calico factory with two partners. After his father's death, his son Franz Heinrich Graf von Blümegen lived in the castle with his daughters Josefine and Eleonora until 1813. In 1814, the property was purchased by the art patron and banker Moritz Reichsgraf von Fries (1777–1826) and his brother Philip Jacob. After his death, Johann Ziegler (then director of the Kettenhofer cotton and calico factory) and Elonora Countess von Kálnoky acquired the building. The castle acquired a new owner in 1826 with the brothers Josef, Moritz and Johann Freiherren von Ziegler; they sold it to Karl Mayer in 1830. In 1850, the castle was bought by the Austrian diplomat and later foreign minister Johann Bernhard von Rechberg and sold in 1872 to the Schwechat brewing industrialist Anton Dreher junior. Rechberg lived in the building until his death on February 26, 1899. In 1902, Dreher had the castle rebuilt in the neo-baroque style by the architect Emil Bressler (1847–1921) and the Schwechat master builder Johann Miksch (1843–1908) for around 800,000 crowns (approx. 4 million euros). The interior was designed by the Viennese furniture maker and interior designer Portois & Fix. After Anton Dreher's death in 1921, the castle was inhabited by his wife Katharina Dreher (1850-1937) until her death and in 1938 was donated to the city of Schwechat in accordance with the wishes of her son and sole heir Eugen Dreher.
