The castle is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. Nevertheless, an exciting old building from the outside.

Story:
Illmau Castle, also called Ilmenau,[1] is located in the market town of Kautzen. It was first mentioned in a document in 1337 and, as a moated castle, was part of the defense systems on the northern border of the Duchy of Austria against Bohemia. In the 16th century the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau. The decay that had occurred since the 17th century as a result of its use as a farm building and later as a granary was only stopped in the last few decades. Although of little historical and architectural importance, the history of the Illmau lordship allows insights into the local social conditions. The history of ownership shows unexpected points of contact with the history of the country.
