Ochsenburg Castle stands on a roughly 30-meter-high rocky outcrop on the right bank of the Traisen River. The medieval castle of the Ochsenburg family was rebuilt into a Renaissance-style palace during the 16th century. In 1785, the newly established Diocese of St. Pölten was granted the right to use it. During World War II, the castle was used as a military hospital and subsequently fell into disrepair. Since its renovation, it has served as a summer residence for the bishops of St. Pölten.

In 2010, it was announced that the Diocese of St. Pölten was putting Ochsenburg Castle up for sale for approximately three million euros. Because no buyer had been found by mid-2011, it was announced that the castle was being renovated and could now be rented for celebrations. The castle and the estate located immediately to the east are listed as historical monuments.

Beautiful to look at. Who knows if it's privately owned like the other castles in this region.
