火災の後、城は1708年から1711年にかけてパウル1世エスターハージ侯爵によって再建され、堀の代わりに庭園が造られました。マロニエ並木のいくつかは保存されています。内装は1945年に焼失しました。

Starhembergという名前は、元の名前である「starker Berg」（強い山）または「Starkenberg」に由来します。この城は、オーストリア oberösterreich にある同名の城、すなわちフュルステンハウス・シュターレンベルク家の命名の地であるシュロス・シュターレンベルク（ハーグ・アム・ハウスルック）や、その現在の本拠地であるシュロス・シュターレンベルク（エフェルディング）と混同してはなりません。ここで取り上げている城の廃墟は、有名な使徒の一族とは何の関係もありませんでした。

1182年、シュタイアーマルク辺境伯オトカー4世（オットーカルとも）の証書には、「Chalhoch de Stratensteine」が、父が寄進したゼッカウ修道院の自由を承認したことが記されています。2年後、その息子「Ortolf」も証書に登場します。どちらの名前もシュラッテンシュタイン家の特徴です。

The Schrattenstein is a wooded mountain near Würflach, crowned by the romantic Schrattenstein ruins. From the summit and around the ruins, there are always magnificent views of the surrounding area and the Hohe Wand mountain. The castle ruins are freely accessible and lend the place a special, historic atmosphere. A worthwhile destination for a leisurely hike – especially beautiful in combination with the Johannesbach Gorge or the Andreassteig Trail.

The Schrattenstein Castle ruins sit perched on a rocky outcrop above the valley and offer magnificent views over the surrounding hills as far as the Hohe Wand mountain. The remains of the former hilltop castle are now freely accessible and invite exploration – with ancient walls, weathered stones, and a special, almost mystical atmosphere. A worthwhile detour for hikers who appreciate history and views in equal measure. It's particularly beautiful at sunset or as the destination for a circular hike through the Johannesbach Gorge or from the Andreassteig Trail.

The Emmerberg Castle ruins are located on a ridge near the Prosset Gorge and are among the historic fortresses of Lower Austria. First mentioned around 1170, they served as an important defensive point on what was then the northern border of the Carantanian March. Although they were never militarily tested, they were inhabited until 1760 before they began to decay – triggered by the sale of the roof structure. Although the ruins are now inaccessible for safety reasons, their imposing remains and picturesque location make them a fascinating sight.

The Starhemberg castle ruins, once a significant site north of Dreistetten, have an eventful history. Originally a Styrian fortress, it fell to the Babenbergs in 1192 and was expanded into a palace under Frederick the Quarrelsome. After his death, the Teutonic Order administered it for a short time before it passed into Habsburg ownership in 1278. In 1482, the castle was captured by King Matthias Corvinus. From 1590, it belonged to the Counts of Heussenstein for over 200 years and survived the Turkish onslaught in 1683. Around 1800, it was covered over to avoid taxes and has remained in ruins ever since. Today, it is owned by the Salvator Habsburg-Lothringen family. Officially, access is prohibited, but the imposing walls and the view make it a popular destination for hikers.
