Around 1100, the nobleman Gozwin donated the area of today's Baumgarten to the Benedictine monastery of Göttweig. In 1751 the Baumgarten estate passed to Franz Josef Giegl, who built today's baroque building in 1756. In 1911 the manufacturer Carl Faltis bought the castle. He had the building rebaroquely renovated and re-equipped. His daughter brought the castle into her marriage to the Minister of Education Max Hussarek von Heinlein. The current owner is Dipl. Ing. Constantin Hohenlohe.

Quiet, away from the large tourist crowds of the Wachau - also great viewpoints

Small, largely unknown castle located high above Mautern and the Danube. Demanding access by bike!

Baumgarten Castle, situated above Mautern an der Donau, was built in the mid-18th century as a Baroque country estate. The building exhibits the typical architecture of this period, with a clearly structured facade, a symmetrical floor plan, and a grand entrance lined with stone sphinxes. In 1911, under the industrialist Carl Faltis, a comprehensive renovation was undertaken, during which the castle was modernized and partially redesigned. The expansive complex with its two courtyards is considered an important cultural monument of the region. Today, Baumgarten Castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but its prominent location dominates the landscape overlooking the Danube Valley.
