Neulengbach Castle
Founded and seat of the High Freemen of Lengenbach from 1191. The Lords of Lengenbach were among the most powerful noble families in Austria. They owned 20 castles and their coat of arms featured the colors blue and yellow, which are now the colors of Lower Austria. Generously expanded into a residential palace under Count Khuen at the beginning of the 17th century, the castle-palace complex is now a three-story square building with a double defensive ring with 8 round towers, which was never taken by enemies. The castle is now privately owned.

Neulengbach Castle
Neulengbach Castle was a hilltop castle on a free-standing mountain cone around 80 m high. It was converted into a palace in the 16th and 17th centuries.
History:
Neulengbach Castle was founded together with the market by the High Barons of Lengenbach around 1189. The castle became the center of the local rule of the Lengenbachers. After the Lengenbachers died out in 1236, it came into the possession of the Babenbergs. In the late Middle Ages, Neulengbach Castle was the seat of the princely caretakers and was often mortgaged. In 1565, Rudolf Khuen von Belasy received the rule of Neulengbach. Under the Barons of Khuen, the castle was expanded or extended into an unadorned late Renaissance palace in the third third of the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century.

The medieval castle is very close to the train station and can be visited before or after a hike in the Vienna Woods. Tours can be booked online in advance: burg-neulengbach.info/fuehrung
