Beautiful castle ruins, which were supposedly built as ruins from the start.

It's not true that this castle can only be visited on Saturdays. The Falkenstein Castle ruins are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from April 1 to November 2.

Great path and great view

The history of Falkenstein Castle is as old as the settlement of the Weinviertel itself. The castle was built under Emperor Henry III in the middle of the 11th century. As a border fortress to the north, it once protected the country from attacks from Bohemia and Hungary. The first lords of Falkenstein were vassals of the Babenbergs. Falkenstein Castle was a sovereign fief and pledge for centuries until it became private property in 1571. In 1645, the castle was conquered by the Swedes, but not destroyed. It did not begin to decay until the end of the 17th century. Source: www.burgruine-falkenstein.at/geschichte/

The romantic castle ruins from the 11th century stand proudly above the wine-growing town of Falkenstein in the Weinviertel. The once mighty castle complex is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the north-eastern Weinviertel. The old walls invite you to explore and offer a fantastic view.

Ruin of Staatz, the path is a bit bumpy and rocky. A great view of the area.

The Hanselburg is the artificial ruin of a hilltop castle. In 1800, Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein had the romantic artificial ruin built on the remains of an old local mountain complex as a hunting pavilion and snack bar.

Built by Prince Lichtenstein in the 18th century.
