Fridau Castle was first mentioned in 1299 and was rebuilt in the Rococo style during the reign of Maria Theresa in 1753. In the state hall there is a beautiful ceiling painting by Daniel Gran. The castle served as a retreat for the community's residents during the Turkish siege and was able to successfully assert itself against the Turks. The building was only conquered and looted during the reign of Napoleon. Around 1750, a fabric factory was set up in the castle and the adjacent outbuildings. During World War II it served as a military hospital and then as a command post for the Russian occupation.

In 1975 the state of Lower Austria bought the castle building. However, the plan to house the state galleries there was rejected. This special piece of history is currently up for sale again and can only be viewed from the outside.
