ゾレナウの洞窟・トップ15

ほぼ正方形の2階建ての建物は、角にあるエレガントな円錐形の屋根を持つ3つの特徴的な円形塔が印象的です。かつては、中世建築の印象的な証である跳ね橋で渡ることができる堀に囲まれていました。特に見どころは、城の最も古い部分である北棟です。その1階は12世紀のもので、遠い昔の物語を語っています。 広々とした礼拝堂は、現在はビザンチン・ギリシャ・カトリックですが、かつては1702年のヨハン・ミヒャエル・ロットマイヤーの祭壇画がありましたが、残念ながら1945年に盗まれました。1950年からは、アリス・ルゴンが描いたマルティーノ・アルトモンテの聖母戴冠の複製が聖域を飾っています。礼拝堂は、トルマウ教区とウィーンの聖バルバラ・ギリシャ・カトリック中央教区によって合同で管理されています。 もう一つのハイライトは、1638年築の南東にある古い農家（マイアーホーフ）で、1880年の火災後に愛情を込めて修復されました。この農家は自由にアクセスでき、この地域のサイクリングツアーの素晴らしい目的地です。ぜひ訪れる価値があります！
