Rohrau Castle, whose origins are uncertain and which was first mentioned in 1240, came into the possession of the Harrach family in 1524, who converted it into a Renaissance moated castle. The history of the castle and the Harrach family is closely linked to the Habsburg monarchy, in which the family played an important political role. After destruction in the Second World War and extensive renovation work starting in 1966, the castle was reopened in 1970 and the family collection was presented to the public.
