Pragstein Castle / Local History Museum
Schloss Pragstein is a palace, often referred to as a castle
The castle, named after its builder Ladislaus Prager (1514), also known as "Lassla of Prague", was extensively renovated at the end of the 20th century and, in addition to the state music school, the registry office and several event rooms, also contains two museums: the Mauthausen local history museum.
The castle was built on a rocky island off the left bank of the Danube. Access to the moated castle washed by the Danube was only possible via a bridge.
Since Emperor Leopold I lived in the castle for a short time in 1680, Pragstein must have been in good condition at the time. During the Austro-Bavarian War of Succession, the castle was occupied by 66 French soldiers, who were taken prisoner on January 5, 1742.

In 1491 Lasla of Prague had the Pragstein Castle built as a "moated castle" on an island off the shore. Today the music school, the local history, trophy, Gerstmayr and pharmacy museum are housed in the historic building on the Danube.
