The Senftenberg Castle ruins date back to the 11th century and were first documented in 1197. They changed hands several times and served as a refuge in the Middle Ages. During the Thirty Years' War, they were destroyed by Swedish troops in 1645 and fell into disrepair. Today, they are a popular tourist destination with free admission. An association maintains the preservation of the ruins and organizes events. The ruins also offer a beautiful view of the Krems Valley.

A well-maintained ruin that hosts a variety of celebrations. You can even book a wedding night in a medieval bedchamber.
