    The ruin Landsee is one of the largest castle ruins in Central Europe
    Do not get locked until 9 o'clock, if you want to visit them, you pay admission.


    The origin of the ruin Landsee is currently undetectable, but it was first mentioned in 1158 in the tradition book of the Göttweig Abbey. Children and parents can still see the imposing fortifications in this castle ruin today.

    history
    The ruin Landsee arrived in Hungarian hands in 1222, but soon changed hands again. The story of Gertrud von Weißpriach, who was there in the 16th century and was known for her violence, inspires especially the children. With the help of the robber Franz Magusch they attacked especially merchants on their journey through Burgenland. From the defensive castle Landsee had become a dreaded robber knight's nest. In 1612, the ruins Landsee came into the hands of the Esterhazy family, who provided 1666 for the completion of the castle. A major fire in 1772 was the trigger for the desolation of this castle.


    view
    Today, families who want to visit the ruins of the Landsee lake, get over the large preserved entrance gate, over bridges and courtyards to "Don Jon", the keep. On the observation deck, children and parents have a wonderful panoramic view over the Mittelburgenland to the Bucklige Welt.

      This largest fortification in Central Europe was built in the 12th century and served as an arsenal and protective castle for the population during the Turkish wars, but fell into disrepair after 1710. Visitation is subject to payment.

        Beautiful castle complex, which unfortunately can only be visited for an entrance fee. A small kiosk at the entrance offers refreshments.
