The elaborately restored moated castle, with its moat, bridge, and idyllic courtyard, enchants visitors and transports them to another world. Although the castle is privately owned, a detour here is definitely worth it, as the large gate was open and the courtyard was also freely accessible.

A very beautiful castle, unfortunately not open to visitors.

Neulengbach Castle Neulengbach Castle was a hilltop castle on a free-standing mountain cone around 80 m high. It was converted into a palace in the 16th and 17th centuries. History: Neulengbach Castle was founded together with the market by the High Barons of Lengenbach around 1189. The castle became the center of the local rule of the Lengenbachers. After the Lengenbachers died out in 1236, it came into the possession of the Babenbergs. In the late Middle Ages, Neulengbach Castle was the seat of the princely caretakers and was often mortgaged. In 1565, Rudolf Khuen von Belasy received the rule of Neulengbach. Under the Barons of Khuen, the castle was expanded or extended into an unadorned late Renaissance palace in the third third of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century.
